I have written three full length feature scripts for film, and I am an avid movie watcher for entertainment and the construction of plot and character devices that make a script compelling. My goal for this group is to have other screenwriters join so we can read and critique each other's scripts and also go to movies together so we can watch and critique the films. Dissecting and critiquing films and discussing structure will only help our own scripts better. Discussing the marketing of scripts …

Let's start going to film festivals together and support the indie film scene!

We ar …

Hello ladies! This is a Meetup group in their 30's and 40's who live in Portland proper and would like to make new friends while participating in fun activities. I've been a member of other Meetups and noticed that a lot of the events are held in the Beaverton/Tualatin areas. So I decided to start a group for Portland residents who prefer majority of Meetups to be held within Portland. And for those who also find that it's harder to make lasting friendships the older you get... Or those that a …

We are an autism-centered social group, run by and for autistic adults, who do fun things each month like board game nights, disability-friendly swing dancing, movie nights, restaurant outings, and more, autistic style!  Any autism spectrum diagnosis (self or official) is okay.

I moved to Portland almost a year ago with my partner. We only knew her cousin and no one else. Needless to say, our social meter was definitely in the red a few months later: ( I struck up a conversation with a woman on a bus, mentioned I didn't know anyone and she suggested joining meetup. We attended our first meetup two weeks later, a second one the day after. From those meet ups , we met 6 fabulous men and close to a dozen fantastic women. People from all different careers with an age range …

Are you an empty nester looking to meet new friends and start that next chapter in your life?  When my daughter moved on to college a couple of years ago I realized that most of my women friends were those I associated with at school functions, band functions, etc. and I no longer had as much contact with them now that our kids were off on their own.  So I decided to try and form a meetup group for women at a similar stage in life as myself to develop some new friendships.  I would like to sched …

Greetings: This is a private group of women friends.  Sometimes we meet in each others homes, so for security and privacy for our members, we have our group setting set to private. We currently have about 30 women members (old broads).  You don't see that many here because right now we are still in the testing phase to see if this is a good tool for us. A message did go out from MeetUp announcing our group.  However our group is not ready to accept new members. But we hope to be ready for that i …
