✨ Film Mississippi Talk at 1:30PM | Open to Anyone!
Join us for a talk from Ryan Parker of Film Mississippi, Mississippi’s film office – a division of the Mississippi Development Authority. This talk will cover ways that the film office can help and provide resources to filmmakers interested in filming in the state of Mississippi, including tax incentives, locations, and pre-production help.
✨ Mississippi Film Alliance Talk at 2:30PM | Open to Anyone!
Savanna Jones, owner of Little Lighthouse Productions and freelance camera operator, will speak on behalf of the Mississippi Film Alliance about grant opportunities for emerging filmmakers and briefly share her experience building a sustainable production company along the Gulf Coast while also working as a freelancer.
✨Hollow Tree Creative Writing Workshop at 3:30PM | Open to Anyone!
Join us for a creative writing workshop with the director of Hollow Tree, Kira Akerman, before the screening. It aims to develop participants’ imagination for intergenerational thinking as modeled by the three protagonists in the film, and to apply it to their understanding of their own homeplaces. The workshop culminates with participants attaching their creative writing to a map — expanding their conception of time, interconnectedness, and possibility for action. *Limited to 20 students + their families
