Description
Presented by Rodrigo Reyes
Finding your voice in the universe between fact and fiction.
This workshop is for lovers of the art of non-fiction who want to learn about how to strengthen their process, support directors taking risks, and learn to build hybrid cinematic visions. Presenting the evolution of a film entitled SANSÓN and ME, the workshop will provide an inside look into how the vision of the film evolved from verité to animation and into magic realism and arriving at a bold new concept of re-imaginings, going beyond the fourth wall and breaking into the fifth.
All attendees and staff will be required to show proof of vaccination, masks are also required for indoor sessions. Please click here to see our full BAMMS 2022 COVID protocol.
