Wow, it's been a crazy year and a lot has happened. 2016 was the year of transition as I had to pull RMM out from a bit of a decline and back into the swing of things. We also spent the year talking with Rochester Audio Visual Association (RAVA) about merging the two entities since there was a great deal of overlap in our missions. Together we hope to better service the Greater Rochester Area as a go to resource for independent film and media production.
We've been slaving away on a new brand, new logo, new social media presence and new website. Whew it was alot, but we are nearly there. With the new site launching Jan 1st (despite a few hiccups) Things are off to a great start. Check it out here:
Rochester Association for Film Arts & Sciences (RAFAS)
We hope to really flesh out our service offerings in 2017, including better support options for local filmmakers and producers, including free project page highlights, bio pages, business pages, educational media, and even fiscal sponsorship opportunities under our 501(c)3. Not to mention some cool logo gear once we get that squared away. (Secretly excited to see filmmakers around town wearing our logo proudly).
We'll be talking more about it at our Launch Party Jan 26th, 6pm at Three Heads Brewing, those guys were awesome about lettings us use their venue, and Wegmans even threw in some catering. The wheels are turning! I hope to see you there. You can view event details on our new Meetup.com page here:

With all this going on, I haven't had much time to work on film projects of my own, but rest assured I have a few pans on the back burner that are soon to come forward.
