Brisbane Movie Makers
Storytelling through the lens
Brisbane Movie Makers (BMM) is an inclusive and friendly club of passionate, amateur movie makers, who meet twice monthly to network, learn, share and plan projects together. Whilst being a not-for-profit and 'amateur' club, we enjoy the company of members with diverse backgrounds, skills and experience, including a few with professional standing.
'The learning journey is way more fun if you have buddies to share it with.' Glenn Bruce
