Now that I have figured out the location, gotten a couple of people to step up and say they will help run this thing, it is now time to start looking at what we need to do to make this happen. Our first step is figuring out how we are going to raise money. We have a few fund raising ideas but none of them will happen unless we can find some volunteers. If you are at interested in volunteering please send me an email at john@darkbridges.com. After we raise approximately $250 dollars we will be able incorporate as this is the first step in becoming a non-profit organization it is pretty important that we get to work on this quickly. We will also be looking at getting our name out around Saskatoon. I’ve already laid plans for an initial event which will hopefully happen around Halloween but as it is still in the very initial stages of planning I can’t mention it.

There will be a meeting in the next couple of weeks. The Roxy Theatre has agreed to let us use their board room for meetings so it will likely take place there but I have not set a time or date yet. Keep watch here and on the Facebook Group for the time and date. I would love to see a bunch of film fans come out and show their support because the success of the festival is really dependent on the fan base here in Saskatoon. I am sure that there are enough of you that we can create one of the best Genre Film Festivals in Western Canada.

Finally, we will be looking at setting up the webpage (which includes creating a design for this blog also) in the next couple of weeks. So keep watch and check back often. We are in the initial stages and things are happening quite quickly for now. I’m sure they will slow down a bit later in the year but for now there should be news quite often.
