posted by BrianArin Crumley (FOUR EYED MONSTERS, IFFBoston Screening Series 2006) asked us to share some info about a great event he’s working on. We thought you’d like to know.

I attended the DIY Days event in Los Angeles and it was an extraordinarily informative experience. I recommend it for every filmmaker with the ambition to Do It Yourself.

AFTER STOPS IN LA, SAN FRANCISCO, AND NYC…
Just an FYI, there was no event in NYC.
Based on what I saw on the WBP and DIYDays site I was REALLY looking forward to the DIY Day event in NYC but it didn’t seem to materialize. I couldn’t find anything on the either site to explain why not.
If I can get enough NYC DIYers together we hope to be a presence at the Boston event. Hope to see you there.
