Cinnafilm is hosting a holiday mixer/networking social for film, art, and media folks this Saturday at my studio from 5-8pm.  The studio is located at 600 Central SE, suite 229 upstairs from the Grove Cafe just 2 block west of the highway (please park in the west lot).  We will be serving some food and beverages (please don't drink and drive), and will probably be screening some random short films as well.  I apologize if some of you are receiving this notice for the second time - if you have already RSVP'd there is no need to do so again.  If you are interested in attending, please email an RSVP headcount by this Wednesday to Info@cinnafilm.com.
 
Have a safe and blessed holiday season.
 
Regards,
