What participants will do and learn:
In this acting and filmmaking workshop, participants will work in small, creative collectives. Together they will write, plan, direct, shoot, act and edit short cinematic sequences that express their unique voices.
​
Filmmaking is truly a team sport, and there is a role for everyone: the pragmatist and the dreamer, the introvert, and the extrovert. We foster collaboration so that everyone has a voice allowing them to try out various roles from writing and direction to cinematography and sound recording and so much more!
​
At For the Love of Film, we aim to guide rather than teach, allowing participants to explore and develop an understanding of the filmmaking and acting process through hands-on creation and exploration. Lots of fun, creativity, and laughter aplenty in this engaging, educational, and fun workshop.

MORE women and nonbinary storytellers BEHIND our screens = MORE and BETTER representations of women and non-binary people ON our screens!
The stories told in film and television send a specific message about who matters most in our culture. This workshop aims to bring together diverse gender representations to collaborate on a microfilm and tell the stories that matter to them. This 3-day workshop runs over two weekends for creative women and non-binary people who are interested in collaborating and learning through filmmaking. We’re looking for people who are interested in being part of a film crew making a micro-short narrative film and exploring all the creativity that comes with making films. No experience is necessary. Just simply bring a passion to tell stories that matter to you.
