Dear Tim,
My ad in MovieMaker has brought students into my workshop from the Seattle film community. I assume I wouldn't have met them otherwise. Also, I've gotten MM to lots of professional friends in L.A. Great magazine!

Dear Tim,
Kudos on the March issue- a color cover even! And still as well written as previous issues. Loved the piece on NW film programs and the profile of George Wing, but I can live without Taso Lagos's diary. Enclosed is a subscription request and check.
I'd like to receive issue one, if possible, and any guidelines for submissions you may have. Keep up the fine work!
Best Regards,
—Jeannette Kent, Seattle
Dear Jeanette,
Thanks for the kind words. We haven’t developed formal editorial or artistic guidelines, but the magazine's contributors are almost all freelancers, so we encourage submissions. Anything of interest to moviemakers (especially articles or photos with a Northwest or independent angle) or discriminating movie goers is fairgame.
Right now we are also seeking illustrators and designers. Please send non-returnable samples or SASE to Mr. Gabor.

Ron and Ross Revisited
Dear Mr. Rice:
What a treat to find the second issue of your magazine while awaiting a show at a neighborhood theatre.
I devoured it, enjoying especially the interviews with Ron Bass (outstanding questions) and Ross McElwee.
In general, I found the quality of the writing and graphics top-caliber. I was also impressed by the role you have undertaken to provide support and recognition to the filmmakers of our community. Again, congratulations on a fine new publication.
Sincerely,
—Mark Isaacs, Seattle
