Movie Moguls Wanted...No Experience Necessary
First ever Community Film Studio Opens!

(April 6, 2012) Lights, Camera, Action! Launching on Sunday, April 29 
Santa Barbara is now home to the world's first ever, non-profit, 
all-volunteer, community film company -- Community Film Studio Santa 
Barbara (CFSSB). Based on the traditional model of a community theater 
group, CFSSB wants everyone who shares an interest in movies to join and 
become a part of film making history. CFSSB brings together experienced 
professionals with those with little or no experience -- a true 
community of friends of all ages, backgrounds, and experience -- to 
collaborate and make movies locally for audiences globally. Most 
important in the mix is to have fun doing it. These will be truly 
independent films of which everyone can be proud of having made a 
contribution. Event will take place at the Marjorie Luke Theatre, 721 
Cota St. from 2 - 4 p.m. Info @ www.CFSSB.org.

Board president and chief instigator, Jack Presnal said, “Films to be 
produced will be very modestly budgeted. Their excellence will come from 
the contributions of the members. No matter your background, there is a 
role in CFSSB for everybody. Making a movie requires the widest range of 
skills, not just technical film skills, to reach the screen. So, truly, 
even with no experience or background, there is an important part for 
everyone to play.”

First film for CFSSB will be under the tutelage of well-known actress 
Finola Hughes, who is expanding her repertoire to directing with this 
first feature for CFSSB. She said, “I am extremely excited to be 
involved in this endeavor; joining my community in the launch of such a 
new, autonomous venture in film making.”

To get started, it's easy. Just follow these steps and you're on your 
way to working in the movies!

Start at the CFSSB website: http://www.cfssb.org

1. Complete an online application and join ($25 per individual or $50 
for a family. Dues can be paid via cash, check or MC/Visa/AMEX.).
2. Join a committee and start helping to shape our process and path. 
This is YOUR film studio.
3. Consider crew positions you might have skills in, or are interested 
in learning about. There are many positions that require no film 
background or training.
4. Take a workshop and start becoming a master at one of the many areas 
of production.

in your schedule to be able to participate. This is the single most 
important contribution you can make.
6. Become a part of the film's promotional effort through Facebook, 
Twitter, Tumblr, etc. Help build awareness and interest in others seeing 
the film. Not only will we make the films but we will distribute them as 
well. We ARE the marketing department!
