Let's shoot a short film in a day

Los Angeles Film in a Hat is a welcoming, low-pressure meetup for people who want to actually make things together. Every week, the goal is simple: **One scene. One location. One short film or sketch.** PLEASE UPLOAD SCRIPTS HERE: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1F6TOzm1aL5Dtpd4sNjxZhm3yD_5_fmRz?usp=sharing Anyone can submit a short script ahead of time. Scripts should be simple, shootable, and ideally around 2–4 pages, with one location that’s easy to access — an apartment, park, backyard, sidewalk, parking lot, outside a café, etc. Makisupa is close to a park if we need an exterior scene and close to my apartment where we shot the last short film. We’ll choose the script together in advance so that when Sunday comes, we can spend our time actually making it. We’ll meet at a coffee shop at **3 PM**, hang out, meet everyone, read through the script together, figure out cast and crew, and then go shoot it. If you have experience, equipment, or a role you’d especially like to take on, you’re welcome to volunteer ahead of time. Want to direct, shoot, record sound, act, edit, produce, or do something else? Great. Have a camera, microphones, lights, tripod, or other easy-to-carry gear you’re happy to bring? Amazing. Whatever roles are still open can go into the hat. You absolutely do not need professional experience or fancy equipment to join. If someone brings great gear, we’ll use it. If nobody does, I have an iPhone and some wireless mics. That’s enough. The thing we make might turn out great. It might be weird. It might be messy. It might be terrible. That’s totally fine. The whole point is to get into the habit of creating instead of waiting for the perfect script, crew, budget, equipment, or opportunity. We want to write things, shoot things, act in things, try new roles, meet other creative people, learn from each other, and actually finish stuff. ### Sunday schedule **3:00–3:30 PM** — Meet up, introductions, coffee, read through the script **3:30–4:00 PM** — Figure out cast and crew, make a quick plan, head to the location **4:00–6:30 PM** — Shoot **6:30–7:00 PM** — Pickups, wrap, and celebrate making something No budget required. No fancy gear required. No need to be an expert. Just bring yourself, a collaborative attitude, and anything you’d be excited to contribute. **One scene. One location. One short or sketch. Every week.** Really excited and grateful to anyone who wants to spend a few hours making things together.

Feature Films at the Moonlight Academy

**The Moonlight Store in Hollywood** invites you to our **Friday Night Film Screening**, a recurring weekly gathering designed as a cultural hub of esoteric activity and a community entry experience for seekers across Los Angeles. Each week, we part the velvet curtain to explore the intersection of cinema and the occult. We cycle through historical and modern **depictions of magic and witchcraft in film**, highlighting **new filmmakers, documentarians, and experimental cinema**. These screenings are more than entertainment; they are a space for critical dialogue. Every screening fosters rigorous conversation centered on **film studies and the Bechdel test**, challenging us to analyze how the craft is portrayed on screen and how we can **integrate these observations into our personal magical practices**. Whether you are a curious newcomer looking for your Los Angeles community or a student enrolled at the **Moonlight Academy** looking to deepen your esoteric learning, our doors are open to you. * **When:** Every Friday Evening * **Where:** The Moonlight Store, Hollywood, CA * **Admission:** Donation-Based (Intended to support local filmmakers and build community) *Come for the film, stay for the critical discourse, and find your place among kin.*

Babette's Feast @ Billy Wilder Theatre

Come join me for a screening of *Babette’s Feast* at UCLA’s Billy Wilder Theater on November 7! Admission is free, but it's also first come-first serve. The movie starts at 730PM, but I plan to be there for 7:00PM when the box office opens so that I can get a decent seat. I also plan to grab a bite beforehand (around 5:00PM) as I'm sure the film will make me hungry! I'll probably get the prix fixe at Lulu if it looks good, or one of the Persian places nearby. You're welcome to join me but the main focus of this Meetup event will be the film. It’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a beautiful, food-centered film together and make an evening of it. Hope you can come!
