Hey everyone!

This year, Griffin, Mason, Heidi, and I will be starting a filmmaking club. If you have a passion for any aspect of filmmaking, whether it be screenwriting, acting, editing, or are just looking for something to do after school, we would love to have you join! Please feel free to email any of us or let one of us know in person if you’re interested. This is just for us to get an idea of how many people would actively participate in the club once we start meeting.

-Joseph Hurtado, Griffin Jones, Mason Waite, and Heidi Coppa
