Visual Storytellers - DC METRO STYLE!

We have wonderful, creative, visual storytellers in the DC, MD, VA region and we will have representatives from each film project onsite as we celebrate some award winning film festival and advancing local projects like:

Directed by Monica Mingo and Winner of BEST FEATURE FILM 2012 at the URBAN MEDIAMAKERS FILM FESTIVAL and BEST INDIE HUSTLER Award!

"The Broken Continent", a fantasy web series pilot is produced by award winning indie filmmakers Francis Abbey of Ciscovaras Pictures, Kelley Slagle of Cavegirl Productions and Bjorn Munson of Team Jabberwocky

Director: Fernando Mico

Network with the local filmmakers at this event and visit the sites for these locally produced films and support our rising talent in the region.

One day it will be your film that we will be enjoying at the cinema!

"If we have one mission at the Creative Pro User Groups, it's to continue to discover new ways to work together as storytellers, never defining ourselves by ANY one tool but by what we create with those tools. But honestly, it's really about the gathering and the art of Visual Storytelling and the sharing of story. It's about getting out of the house and away from work and meeting up with like minded people, many of whom are probably smarter than you. It's the networking and learning opportunities. It's the possibility that you will meet someone who will change your life."
