Months of pre-production, two 14-hour shoot days, 70+ people on set, and an aggressive two-month post schedule, a sprinkling of "wait for the right moment", now the trailer of "Feel Me" is finally live!

“Filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.” – Steven Spielberg

*Warning: this might be a longer post than I ever do -- but coffee and enthusiasm for our community make me wordy!

Marcus Sams and I created Bay Area Film Mixer back in 2012, and goodness gracious, it's grown from 26 at our first event, to ~250 next week at 111 Minna Gallery. The stories we hear of projects and connections that started at our events over the years not only inspire us to keep going, but motivates us to create more opportunities for networking and showcasing the best of the Bay.

Stay tuned -- more to come!

As for next week, Bay Area Film Fam, we're beyond stoked to give a shout-out to our amazing sponsors, who help us elevate this event:

Gumbo Social
Chef Dontaye is donating his soul-powered gumbo to the Mixer! He blends traditional African stews with classic French training to create gumbo that’s all about community and connection, which matches our mission. Get ready for some seriously delicious food!

CHLOE JACKMAN PHOTOGRAPHY
Fresh off working the DNC, Chloe Jackman Photography is a team of compassionate, talented, and creative humans based in the Bay Area. They believe in the power of community and representation, also in alignment with our mission — and they'll be at the event capturing the networking magic!

Fleet Wood SF
SF-based Fleet Wood inspires creativity and craft with fresh tees printed daily and workshops on dyeing techniques. Be sure to stop by and experience their unique art -- and if you need merch for your film, you'll love what Fleet Wood can help you create!

111 Minna Gallery
Our gracious host, 111 Minna Gallery, has been a beacon of art and culture in the Bay Area for over 30 years, winning awards like Best Art Gallery (2018 & 2019) and Small Business of the Year (2018). We couldn't ask for a better venue!

Marcus Sams and I can't wait to see you all next week!

Crux Jinx is seeking a few roles for projects in various stages of production!

Editor, Spec Pilot: We have an edit of a 46 minute spec pilot (dramedy) that we'd like to have pushed to the finish the line. No deadline, but would like to set a reasonable timeline with the right editor who can help "punch" it up.

Producer, Feature Documentary: We are in early production on a documentary on Ukraine art being stolen and destroyed in the war, and the artists who have been affected. Looking for a producer with doc experience to work with the director on developing the project further.

If interested, email [email protected] with a little bit about yourself!
