Writing with Film Workshop

with Holly Willis

This workshop invites participants to consider creative approaches to their writing practice using techniques borrowed from filmmakers. We will view a series of short films, derive their specific processes, and then use these to imagine new ways to compose. Combining viewing, discussion, and short writing prompts, the workshop offers a playful approach to writing both fiction and nonfiction.
