Introduce Yourself : New England based filmmakers/writers? Where are you? by Mel Barrett

New England based filmmakers/writers? Where are you?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to connect with more NE filmmakers. I live in Somerville, MA and have been trying to find a good base of crew/creatives here FOR YEARS, but everyone sorta keeps to themselves, or maybe I'm just missing my opportunities.

Shoutout if you're in the area and tell me what you do and where you're located. Maybe we can get together (via Zoom, of course). I'll go first:

I'm Mel.

I'm a screenwriter and director mainly, though I dabble in editing, and I'm a recovering LP, PM, and PC. I'm also a script and production consultant. I live in Somerville, near Tufts.

Good morning, Mel. I'm pretty new to this site but live in MA. I've found the same thing as far as being able to connect with people in the area.

I'm very much a beginner in this trade, though I've been writing and indie publishing books for years. I've worked with various actors, mainly from CT, and only once on my own projects.

I'm located in Ware, a small town hiding in the lower Quabbin area, and currently working on multiple projects as far as writing.

Great to meet you, Dawn. Thanks for responding. Hopefully we'll connect some day once Covid has passed.

Dawn Gray

That would be great. Sorry for the response delay.

Hi Mel, I live in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. I am thrilled to hear of connections near me. I hope you are doing well.
