HCM CITY (VNS) — The first film industry networking and social event Film Friday was recently launched by the producers of 48 Hour Film Project - Cloud 9 Production.

The launch last Friday offered presentations and discussions with investors, producers and filmmakers, as well as short film screenings and film quizzes.

"We know there are lots of enthusiastic people who have the potential and wish to bring our film industry into the international spotlight, and to devote themselves to the development of it here in Viet Nam," said Jerry Le, manager of Cloud 9 Productions.

Ross Stewart, director of the event, said the group wanted "to create an opportunity for anyone interested in making films and being creative. This event is where you can build your dreams and make them come true. It's where you can be helped to live up to your life ideals".

The Film Friday event takes place on the last Friday of each month. — VNS
