Social Sundays

Inspired by the book, Show Your Work: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered by Austin Kleon in which he encourages creatives to, "Find one little piece of your process that you can share. Where you are in your process will determine what that piece is. If you're in the very early stages, share your influences and what's inspiring you. If you're in the middle of executing a project, [show] your methods or share works in progress. If you've just completed a project, show the final product, share scraps from the cutting-room floor, or [show] what you learned."

This is the focus of our November 12 Social Sundays event.

Have something to show? Perhaps it's a new monologue you've been working on working on for your audition reel? A few pages of script that you've written? A rough cut of your latest short film? Whatever it is, let us know! Shoot us an e-mail of what you'd like to show to be considered for the lineup!

Social Sundays are opportunities for Richmond Film Network members to meet and greet fellow creatives in film! Connect names with faces and socialize, network, celebrate accomplishments, and share project opportunities in a relaxed environment.
