Personal Queer Filmmaking Workshop at Utah Queer Film Festival
Personal Queer Filmmaking Workshop at Utah Queer Film Festival
Sunday, October 27, 2024 (12:30 PM - 2:30 PM) (MDT)
Description
Engage with filmmaking during the Utah Queer Film Festival (formerly Damn These Heels)! Personal Queer Filmmaking Workshop offers an individual exploration of ways to make films centered around one’s personal queer story. We will delve into the power of personal filmmaking for both the filmmaker and the viewer, how to develop your own story into an outline or script, and the technical aspects of filming yourself. We will emphasize the importance of queer people sharing their stories and making films that reflect our experiences. The workshop will include prompts for developing a concept, practice exercises, and time for sharing in the community. No film experience is needed.
When: Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
Where: Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center 138 W. Broadway, SLC, UT 84101
