DVD Production

Hey, last week I went to the first meeting of the DVD production club offshoot of the Collaborative. I wasn't exactly excited about it - it sounded kind of dry - but I was really impressed when I actually went. It was not only a good time, it was very informative, including aspects of cover layout and encoding that I hadn't really thought about before.

Dave Splinter did a great job preparing it, right down to recruiting The Incredibles to provide visual aids! It seems like this could be a great group, and real productive learning ground for anyone putting their own DVD packages together for either self-distribution or festival submission.

I'm looking forward to the next one - thanks Dave!! And thanks to the Spot, a really interesting, artistic space which was generous enough to donate their space on Thayer St.

RIFCers IN THE NEWS!

RIFC members have been active in events all over Rhode Island for some time. We're happy to say that notice has now been taken of this dedicated public activity.

A week ago Sunday there were not one, but two articles in the Providence Journal that gave mention of RIFC activity.

This link is to the article regarding locals who made it onto "Brotherhood" including CHACH, who runs the RIFC Actor's Workshop.

This link is to a story about Corrente's ScreamRI Horror Pitchfest. The RIFC provided most of the volunteers for this event.
