Greetings!
 Welcome to 2011 - another exciting year for independent film. I'm not sure I agree with New Year's Resolutions, but hopefully you, like I, have set yourself some goals for the year. If you've never written a script, or made a film before, this is the year to get it done! Be bold, be brave, and don't forget to enter it into Raindance! Want to meet and make a team of fellow filmmakers? Find them at our Boozin' n' Schmoozin' event this Monday at the classy Apollo cinema. Considering taking a Raindance course? Come along to our Open House event, meet the team behind the courses and the festival, get a free drink and money off any courses you book on the night. We're working flat out to make 2011 happen for us. Make it happen for you too! James Burbidge Editor |
