POST EVENT RECAP:

We had a blast at the Daytona @WIFTFL Mixer last night. Thanks to all the attendees for braving the cold & for all your wonderful questions re: pursuing a passion project. A big shout out to‪ WIFT-FL VP Nancy McBride & Cinematique’s Stephanie Mason-Teague for pulling the event together. The hot tea and cookies were delicious!

It was also great to see WIFT-FL Board member Rick Alexander at the event and meet so many incredible people with such diverse, interesting backgrounds in film, TV and digital arts. We will definitely make a point of attending the monthly Mixer in the future (you really have to twist our arm to get us to come to the beach).
