A message from our Web Committee Chair, Mark Ireland
Among the many benefits for MFVA members (and my personal favorite) are the regular meetings for our members. The meetings take place in towns from Camden to Portland, from Lewiston to Bangor and are structured in a variety of formats. Many are set up as forum-style meetings, with specific topics presented by a panel of experts. Sometimes we meet for film screenings with live music. All meetings include time to meet with colleagues over food and drinks.

Dear MFVA members and attendees of the Winter 2009 Meeting at the Maine Studios:
Our first meeting at the Maine Studios was quite a success. In spite of the threat (and reality) of the first snow of the year, we had a good crowd of about 55+ friends. The screenings of six films from this years’ 2009 48 Hour Film Project were pretty sensational—alternatively horrifying, bloody, sensitive, romantic, hysterical—terrific production value and very fresh and innovative storytelling. It was evident that we were witnessing the work of both emerging and quite accomplished filmmakers; a super exercise in figuring out how to work fast, intuitively, and who you really want to team with. We also heard some great advice for those who intend to participate in the upcoming 48 Hour Film Projects.
