Project
Resolution is a free and open monthly forum where filmmakers
are invited to show their films and receive feedback from
the audience. Films shown each month are based on prompts
decided by the audience from the previous month. Anyone can
show a film and anyone can critique. The prompt for the March
meeting is “first films.” Bring in your first complete
film or, if you have never made a film, MAKE ONE. Films can
be shown on MiniDV, VHS and DVD. All other formats require
your own projection. Films should be under 5 minutes in length.
