About this meetup

It's time again to get together for a great meetup. Everyone should be attending the Rack Focus Red-Carpet Film Showcase on Wed. the 19th at the Famous Texas Theatre at 231 West Jefferson St. in Dallas, Texas. This is the web address to get info and tickets: rackfocusdallas@gmail.com. The show is on the 19th and has some local talent attending who are in the movies.

We will be meeting the night after the show, on Thursday the 20th, at Rio Mambos Cantina (see above address). We will be sharing a lot of information on things going on in the group. We gave out some job information last meeting, and some people appeared on TV and movies last month because of it. If you are not on my facebook page you are missing out on some job postings I put on my page lately.

Thanks to RB Botto; the founder of Stage 32 for sending some free gifts to our meetup last time. Everyone got a gift during a drawing held at the meet. I think it was a good and kind thing RB did to help us out with these gifts. The whole idea of the meetups is "networking". You can prosper from the "sharing" all the members bring with them to each meeting. I am very proud of all of you for stepping out in faith to follow your dreams.

I think I've bought everyone a "first drink" at least once by now. I will have to let everyone buy your own from now on. I am retired now and on a set budget. I hope that you all see that the meetup is to help you get out there and network with each other. Come and let's get some more projects going. We will be having a War movie filming soon, and they may need some more soldiers and crew for the task. This would be a good experience for you guys just starting out. Many more things happening in the group. Hope to see you there.....

3 Ways You Can Create Meaningful Social Media Relationships Today

If there was one subject that dominated the questions asked during my recent Stage 32 AMA, it was about best practices on social media. Many of you wanted to know how to go about creating meaningful relationships that would help accelerate your path to success. You know my feelings on this subject as it relates to launching and maintaining a career in film and content creation: Relationships = Reads Relationships = Jobs Relationships = Financing Relationships = Champions of you and your work Relationships = Greater opportunities Since we only had about 90 minutes, I was unable to get to all of your questions. Therefore, I decided to tackle the most asked as part of my new article for Medium - 3 Ways You Can Create Meaningful Social Media Relationships Today. I hope you find the material helpful and that it inspires you to change/enhance your social media habits and increase the time spent on building relationships that matter. And remember, you can see all my previous Medium articles and follow me on the platform here Enjoy!
