Well, it was a pretty quick meeting this month, but some of the highlights are:

There is a new mailing list for the MAF Actors Group. After some initial bugs, it was decided to make the mailing list moderated, so every post not written by a moderator will have to be approved. For more info on how to join the MAF Actors e-mail list, click on the Actors tab of this website.

Aaron Puckett looks to shoot his short “Boots” sometime in June. More details to follow.

Tim Richardson’s Feature Length Harry Potter parody “Harvey Putter and the Ridiculous Premise” starts shooting May 17th. For more info, see the Harvey Putter website.

David Boyer continues to work on his short film “Valentines Day”, and plans on shooting it later this year. (This film is the winner of the MAF screenwriters challenge from earlier this year). David is looking for assistance, so if you are interested in helping him out on this flick, you can contact him HERE.

That’s all for now! See you all next month!
