iW bloggers/film bloggers & friends informal gathering event planning in progress - Thu 8/23 night is event date

iW's Eugene H. got in touch today about the post I made several days ago re: doing a live meeting of some or most of the bloggers who post at iW's blogs page (and other film/indie film bloggers in NYC who are interested in meeting up, and friends, of course - a group hangout event built around at least a few of the iW bloggers core is basically the plan).

Here's the latest re: the event:

Date - Thursday, August 23 (let us know if this is a good day iW bloggers)

Time of Day: night, exact start time to be determined - 9 PM?

Place: tbd, Eug. suggests a bar, & the event to begin after the Apple Store SoHo event re: Generation DIY screening series happening that night. Suggest some possible bars iW bloggers - I guess a place close to Apple Store SoHo would be good.

More info. coming soon, obviously

Looking forward to meeting up w/ some iW bloggers & friends. And of course hanging out in the "recently liberated for indie, DIY, & amature filmmaking & tourist photography :)" city of New York.

Leave a comment re: these plans iW bloggers, if u r interested in this event - thanks!

Notes to filmmakers, distributors & other interested folks - this event might be a chance to meet some of your favorite indie film bloggers in a casual setting. I am sure at least a couple of these people can be talked or bribed into writing repeatedly, endlessly about your project (specially if it is awesome) for months to come :)

Introduce us to your favorite painters & paintings.

There's a PBS (i think) show on French painters right now. Other, older, forms of art, & the people who made them, can be inspirational & useful for filmmakers I think. I've learned a lot from indie rock (some aesthetic stuff, lots of bidness stuff), maybe I can learn stuff from painting too. So in July & August I am going to blog about painters & I would like you to comment & tell us about your favorite painters & other interesting stuff about painting. Painting is thousands of years old. Filmmaking is a little over 100 years old. US Indie filmmaking as we know it is perhaps a little over 50 years old (w/ the beginning somewhere around the time when the Cassavetes generation got its inspiration/started work). Us new indie filmmakers - the digital/web/DIY generation, can probably learn a lot by taking a look at/getting to know, painting & other older art forms. I'll start w/ Edward Hopper .
