PERSONAL IS POLITICAL: STORYTELLING FROM THE HEART
Friday August 11th
Time: 3 Pm
Location: Lucie’s Place
Mark Thiedeman leads a casual conversation about creating work that stands out in an age of saturated content. As our culture is driven towards narratives that appeal to notions of identity and representation, similar stories are told to the point of redundancy, which has been the case throughout the history of LGBTQ+ filmmaking. In a workshop aimed at inspiring young filmmakers to speak their individual truth, he discusses the importance of drawing from specific personal experiences to create work imbued with a strong sense of self. Bring a pen and a notebook -- we're about to start creating!
