What is the Clubhouse?
Funny you should ask.
The Clubhouse is where we bring folks together to casually network without the pressure of actually networking.
We host consistent get togethers, happy hours, awkward parties, and casual hangs to foster more connectedness in our community.
So if you're a grizzled veteran, a new arrival, fresh out of film school or just wanting to simply connect with your peers, the Clubhouse is the most enjoyable way to awkwardly meet your next collaborator.
See you there!
