Join the Community

Midwest Media Now is part of a growing community called Let’s Create.  We are a group of content creators in Chicago and the Midwest. The Community site is fully featured. Fill out your profile show your work and share your links. Make sure people can get a hold of you in case they need your talents for a production of any kind.  It’s the best way to find out what’s going on with all the different events all of our members are hosting.

You can start your own groups, hold your own events, post topics in the forums to find answers to those hard questions about production or whatever you have on your mind.

This Community is centered around Chicago and it’s Suburbs, but in this day and age if you have something to offer join the group. Let’s work together to make great content and build a working community.

Welcome to our Let’s Create Page, you might be wondering what we’re all about it. Well we are mostly a group of content creators building a stronger community here in Chicago. We want to get together and learn from each other. If this sounds like something you want to do join the party!

You can participate in several ways. Just show up! Come on that the easiest thing you can do. Don’t you want to know who your fellow content creators are?

Just watch this video from one of events!

Here are some other ways.
1. Co-Host: an event, all you have to do is help organize one of the events.
2. Location Host: Want to show off your location. Have the party at your place. What a great way to show off what you do to a whole new group of people.
3. Volunteer: We need help making this stuff happen. Whatever skill you have or want to contribute just let us know and you’re in.
