The initial reason for setting up this group was to provide a better home for the Social-Movie-Making that started in the Wellington Social Movie Group. This group is for anyone who enjoys that kind of thing, but doesn't want to get too serious about it. Priorities for the group will be 1) Fun 2) maybe learn something (by doing) 3) finish something (but only if the first two priorities are met). I'm hoping we'll be able to do some related stuff as well, such as DIY improv workshops.
