Created specifically to prioritise Queer POC and Trans People, whether your're a Fringe! filmmaker,or a a future-Fringe! filmmaker, this workshop will focus on developing your world-building skills in your screenwriting project. With opportunities to get hands-on (keyboards) and bespoke insights from our experienced facilitators tailored to you and your projects, you'll leave ready to get your queer world out of your head and onto the page.
What is worldbuilding? How does it work? Doesn’t it only matter for sci-fi? These are some of the questions we’ll answer in this masterclass,
The workshop will be followed by an informal networking event hosted by Trans+ On Screen and Fringe! Open to all: Get off the socials and come meet and mingle with your Queer filmmaking peers IRL
