MacFilmmakers
This month's meeting is for users to show off their videos, both
professional and amateur. Each video is about 10 minutes (longer videos
are not shown in their entirety). Audience members can ask questions
after each video. Actually, they usually show user videos at the
beginning of each meeting. This week it's an extended session.
