Who: The local Mensa Group
RSVP Info: None required
Directions: Located on the east side of Harvard Avenue, and the north side of the Skelly Bypass (I-44).  This building was a Shoney's restaurant in a former life.  Those approaching from the north on Harvard can cut through the parking lot of the office building that's north of the restaurant.  Restaurant phone number is 918-743-1110.

Snacks: Don't bring a thing.  Johnnie's will provide a nice dinner.  Try their pies.
Animals: Service animals only
Notes: This will be a talk (with some show and tell) about basic no budget/very low budget video production.  The topic is mainly about amateur production work being done on short subjects and occasionally feature length projects.  The results of these efforts are film festival fare, not commercial releases.

The folks that Brian is involved with are making dramas, comedies, documentaries, and such.  This is not about making commercials, or corporate training videos, or other "less artistic" types of commercial work.  There would be plenty to talk about regarding those kinds of projects too, but Brian simply is not involved right now with people doing that.
