Summertime Hook-Up at DCTV

A few months back, I attended the inaugural launch of DCTV and Shooting People's Hook Me Up program of speed dating-style networking events held at the good ol' Fire Station.  Tonight, there's an open house at 87 Lafayette to kick off the summer.

These events bring together a gaggle of professional independent filmmakers in one room in 3-minute meet-and-greets, quick conversations to find out whether you might be a match for project-based work, and other creative endeavors.  The application deadline to attend is Sunday, June 1st.  The next Hook Me Up is for both documentary and narrative filmmakers.  The first one they put on was just for nonfiction makers and the second one was for the fiction crowd.  I think it's a great idea to mix it all up since most people I know are working on both kinds of projects.  The event will take place on Tuesday, June 10 at 7:30 p.m. at DCTV.  It's a really fun and incredibly well-organized evening--well, after the initial chaos of getting people sorted and ready to scoot around the room.  Click here for more info and the app.  Time to get your pitch on!
