These San Francisco Bay Area groups focus on a single subject, or on a portion of the filmmaking process other than production.
- Producer Foundry is an organization which, as of April 2014, is organizing monthly networking and speaker events in San Francisco.
What they say:
We are a hub for filmmakers who think like entrepreneurs (or who WANT to
think like entrepreneurs), creating projects that make money. We are a
place to gather and talk about the challenges of living and working in
independent film, and to meet people who can help you overcome those
challenges.
And here's their description of their monthly "Entreproducers" meetings:
A monthly gathering of Entrepreneurial filmmakers in the Bay Area. The
Townhall is all about getting Filmmakers, Marketers, and Business people
talking and networking... The Townhalls are for sharing useful information, and meeting
useful people to grow your team and your company to the next level.
