WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Want to create your own film?

Want to rock your skills to create social justice?

Want to develop your leadership as an artist-activist?

Through this intensive, fun and transformative 16-week Introductory Workshop, you will learn the technical, artistic and leadership skills to create your own film.

Each participant will create, write, direct and edit a 5-minute video project.

You will develop a story idea, write a script, draw storyboards, create shot lists, operate cameras and compose shots, set-up lights & sound, direct actors and manage crew, edit, and send your film to film festivals and beyond.

***Access to mini-DV cameras (starting class 2) and Mac computers throughout the entire duration of the workshop is extremely helpful though it is not a requirement.
FILMMAKER TRAINING PROGRAM
We demystify filmmaking through hands-on exercises and skill development to cover everything from ideas and screenwriting to cinematography, directing actors and editing.  If there are any additional financial or ability (learning disabilities, mobility) issues, please let us know.

MISSION
Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project (QWOCMAP) creates, exhibits and distributes new films that address the vital social justice issues that concern queer women of color and our multiple communities, to create systemic change through art, activism and community building.  Over 220 films have been created by our QWOCMAP filmmakers.
