Guidelines for Open-Mic

• Please limit your announcements to 60 seconds. We apologize if we cut you off.
• Please avoid cursing and keep your announcements PG. We are guests in our hosts’ homes.
• Consider what points you want to make in advance. 60 seconds goes quickly when filled with uh’s.
• For many filmmakers, speaking on the mic in front of a group can be very intimidating. Please keep an open mind, so that our members and guests will feel comfortable and relaxed enough to speak.
• Thank you in advance for not talking while someone is on the mic. If you need to talk to someone, please step away from the listening audience, so they can hear.
