So you want to make a movie in San Diego? Whether you're making a documentary, music video, the next El Mariachi, or that cool digital short that will get you noticed, the first call you should make is to the San Diego Film Commission. Why? What can they do for you? Aren't they only interested in big studio projects like Anchorman and "Veronica Mars" that have lots of money to burn?

The San Diego Film Commission exists to make it easy for anyone who wants to make a film in San Diego. Even you. Still not convinced? Come to our November meeting when KATHY MCCURDY will answer your questions about how the San Diego Film Commission can help you. She'll tell you how to get a permit to film in San Diego absolutely free. She'll explain how the film commission, acting as a liaison to local government officials (police department, fire department, etc.) on your behalf, will take the hassle out of securing our city's most picturesque locations that will help make your film a greater success.

And that's not all. Find out about the film commission's library of thousands of private locations available to meet your film's needs. Learn about their free resource guide, the next best thing to the face-to-face networking you enjoy every month at our meetings. Ask Kathy about the film commission's various employment resources for both cast and crew. As a bonus, local filmmakers GABRIEL PAN and ROD MAGDALUYO will show a sample of their recent film, Finding Love for Annie. They will discuss first-hand how the film commission helped them achieve their filmmaking goals.

Even if you are already familiar with the spectacular resources the San Diego Film Commission provides, come to our meeting for our invaluable Networking Hour! Meet face-to-face with other members of the burgeoning San Diego filmmaking community from 5:30 to 6:30 before our guest speaker's presentation.
