Director's Finder Series Screens Shorts
On November 3 and 17 the Director's Finder Screening series
showcased SHORTS made by DGA members as part of the Guild's on-going efforts to support members' independent creative endeavors.
Six to eight films of diverse lengths, styles and content
were selected by lottery for each Director's Finder screening. Audiences
enjoyed an entertaining, eclectic, stimulating, quirky and thought-provoking offbeat mix of your fellow Guild members' creativity in the experimental short-film category.
Members may find more information
about the Director's Finder Screening series and RSVP by calling (310) 289-5300
or logging onto the Independent Directors Page of the Members only website.
