CMM, CIFC meet May 18, 20
Champaign Movie Makers meets at least once a month to afford area filmmakers and talent an opportunity to discuss and join forces on the making of independent cinema in the area. If you are interested in being more “in the loop” if not directly involved with CMM-related productions, please visit and join their Yahoo! Group.
The next meeting will take place tonight, Tuesday, May 18, 7 p.m., in a brand-new location, Class Act Interactive, 114 S. Neil St., Champaign, IL. This month’s presentation led by CMM founder Johnny Robinson will cover the pre-production stage which involves “script, story boards, shot lists, call sheets, continuity reference, and so on” per Robinson; additional topics TBD.

And then, the Central Illinois Film Commission led by president Cameron Counts will get together Thursday, May 20, 7 p.m., at the Route 66 Hotel & Convention Center, 625 E.
