Thurs, Aug. 19 & Aug. 26th | 6pm-9pm CT | Zoom Session
*Note: This workshop will take place on Zoom. You will receive an email with the link to participate. There are only FIVE spots left!
A workshop as a working lab of sorts balanced between presentation of case studies, examples, and techniques as catalysts to guide a thorough discussion from which we can collectively and courageously work on disarming the barriers of traditional forms of storytelling in film. This workshop is intended to ignite and burn down the confines of narrative as a means to dream into new worlds into which we can exist individually in the vast art of cinema.
Ideas which will be on the table include (but not limited to):
-Process based storytelling (working through conceptual or personal set of guidelines – working with interceptions of the process)
-Messages in the pictures (importance of images and responsibilities as image makers – images as maps – use of symbols and metaphors – image genealogies).
-Building with more than 3 points (limits of the script form – narrative forms beyond the intro/conflict/resolution structure)
-Beyond the Industrial Complex (story building through collaboration and community – intimate and private acts of storytelling)
***NB priority will be given to voices who have been traditionally and purposely excluded from engaging within the landscape of filmmaking through various structural barriers***

Rhayne Vermette was born in Notre Dame de Lourdes, Manitoba. It was while studying architecture at the University of Manitoba, that she fell into the practices of image making and storytelling. Primarily self taught, Rhayne’s films are opulent collages of fiction, animation, documentary, reenactments and divine interruption. Ste. Anne is her first feature narrative.
