About me: The Virginia Production Alliance represents all segments of the Virginia media production community with a mission to foster industry growth and communication. We strive to develop increased economic opportunites, education of our industries, and to serve as a forum for industry issues.
Our goal in creating this page is to introduce ourselves to members of the production community in Virginia and to advertise various programs and social events that may be of interest to you.
To put it simply, the VPA is an incredible networking and education resource and we really just want to know how we can help you.
And the VPA now has a Group on Facebook! Go to www.facebook.com and search Virginia Production Alliance to link up with industry contacts outside the MySpace network.
Who I'd like to meet: Actors, Producers, Writers, Filmmakers, Students, Directors, and Crew. Whether you just add us as a friend and send us some information on what you do or if you come to one of our many events, we want to hear from you.
