It’s the return of our monthly member social — welcome to the new YAPPY HOUR! On the last Wednesday of each month, join your fellow CineVic members for some socializing, networking, collaborating, and just plain schmoozing. Each month we’ll have a different speaker give a short presentation on their work, then we’ll head across the street to the Yates Taphouse side-room to continue the conversation and munch some nachos! For our February YAPPY HOUR we’ve got local young filmmaker Octavian Kaul — he’ll share experiences working with the local film communities in Sidney and Victoria.
