Intro
We started Film North, a collaborative of film/video professionals and enthusiasts in
Beverly, Massachusetts. This is for those in the city and surrounding areas. We had a few screenings, and now we are starting panels and seminars on topics that our members might find interesting.
We are having a short film screening on April 26. Anyone who wants to submit must do so by April 8, 2005. Submissions must be no longer than 20 minutes. ½” VHS or DVD in NSTC format only. Films should be mailed to: Film North
Beverly Main Streets, Inc.
254 Cabot Street
Beverly, MA 01915

The purpose of this blog is to inform others as to what is happening with Film North and to allow others to use this as a bulletin board. In that we are trying to a maintain good relationship with our mayor and other politicians, I have to restrict postings pertaining to the adult entertainment industry. Personally, I have no objection. However, politically, it is a problem. There are grants, incentives and restrictions determined by politicians.
We all have different backgrounds and talents. Many are directly involved in productions with many years of experience. I took an early retirement from an unrelated field, and decided to go back to something I loved. The last time, I had difficulty finding labs that would guarantee against piracy from their source. Distribution was another problem. You can go broke on a great film if nobody will pay to watch it or know that it exists. While I work on my projects, I want to help others with theirs. I can work part time on a deferred basis. I will be paid contingent on you selling your product.
I believe that people should be able to make a living doing what they love. We have a lot of creative people in the area. Do you think you have the talent to be successful? Anyone can make excuses. What do you want, and how can a group such as Film North help you?
