As a non-published, non-professional creative writer I decided to start offering writing workshops to foster love of writing in others. You don't have to know where to put a comma or what a conjunction is in order to use writing as a tool for personal expression. We all tend to get swamped with everyday responsibilities, stresses and work.  As critical as the two out of three of them are we also need time for ourselves.  Time to nurture our love of writing. Once a month we'll hold a themed wor …

I'm an artist. I'm a writer, singer and musical theatre afficiando. But mostly, I'm someone who seeks to take this love of the creative arts and make it into a business. I'm sure there are many others out there who are pursuing, or have been successful at, similar goals.

This group is intended for those who have some "experience" with movie making. It is not intended for professionals but for those who have the camera (video or DSLR) and want to be involved in the planning, writing, shooting, editing, and music production necessary to end up with both a personal and a group film.
