This group is for those in their 20s and early 30s in the Central New York area looking to get together and try new things, see new events, etc. An easy way to connect with a diverse group of people and see all that CNY has to offer.

The Group is alive and well! New blood and new management. We are now meeting in a different environment, with the goal of putting out some projects, learning the skills for writing, and production. There is too much talent in CNY wanting to get into film production and they do not have a vehicle, nor the connections to do it. Well this is the vehicle. We are looking at  a new time or day to ensure a better turn out. Give us input and take a chance one more time. And to all of the new comers (me …

I decided to start this group because I just finished college and want to meet others with similar interests. I am working on a history paper right now and would like to get together and discuss theory that might be useful to me.

If this group attracts a lot of interest, we may be able to have two or three seminars on diff …
