On March 3rd, Ira Gardner attended the inaugural gathering of a new Spokane area film and video organization. The meeting was held in the Community Building offices of Community Minded Television. The group is part of a grass roots effort by Community Minded Television (cable channel 14) to bring together amateur and professional filmmakers as well as regional educators for the purposes of providing networking, education, and production distribution in support of local filmmakers ranging from shool age children to retired seniors.
Tuesday's meeting included several former SFCC photography students including one who works for CMTV and several representatives from EWU, North by Northwest, as well as members ffrom the Kootenai North Idaho Videographers group that are looking to join as an affiliated member.
The group will meet monthly and has formed a steering committee that will help define the scope and mission of the new group. Ira will serve on this committee and is forging a relationship with CMTV that will bring student productions to the public airwaves starting Spring Quarter.
