RMM Shmoovies 2012
————————————————————————-
Almost 2 hours of locally produced films showed at the 2012 RMM Shmoovies to a close to sold out house.  Thanks to everyone who acted in, directed, produced, crewed the films and thanks to everyone who came out to support these local filmmakers.  The RMM Board would like to encourage local filmmakers to use RMM crew and talent.
Shmoovies 2013 will offer opportunities for paid RMM Voting members to have their films shown on the Cinema Theater Screen (or equivalent).   Non – voting members will pay a small fee or join the organization.  If you are a local producer, be sure to attend the monthly member meetings.  There are always talented folks looking to help with local productions.  If you are working on a late summer/fall film, get help at any RMM meeting.  Current projects and oppportunities are available at the end of this email.
