art of film making. It's members all share a common bond...
the desire to create entertaining and memorable independent
films. Below you'll find several short films created by our

This club seeks to encourage independent film making by providing
an opportunity to have your work seen online, as well as offering
whatever advice or information we might have.
To join our club, simply create a short film and post it online
(we recommend vimeo.com or google.com). Then send us a link
to your film and we'll consider posting it here. If your film
is accepted, we'll also add you to our list of members.
Film submission links may be sent to thunderandlightning2007@yahoo.com
This is an internet-based film club, and we encourage anyone who makes films to
submit their work for our consideration. Individual film makers retain all rights
to their respective works, and membership is free if your film is accepted.
