You know that feeling when you have something to share, but you’re not sure how to do it? Maybe you need to tell your story or illuminate a community or a struggle that is dear to you. Or do you have a cast of characters that you can’t wait to introduce to the world? Shaina Ghuraya, filmmaker, screenwriter, and Superfest director, is hosting a two-part filmmaking micro-retreat. In the first session, “How to Write a Script,” we will focus on developing an idea and writing a script for a short film. In addition to learning hard skills in these workshops, we’ll get real about the path for disabled filmmakers and talk about how to apply our whole, beautiful, disabled bodies and minds in the creative process. Join us in July for “How to Direct a Short Film.” Both sessions will include a presentation, working time, and small groups. Though we’re starting with the basics, we think this workshop will be fun and supportive for disabled filmmakers of all levels.
