The Film Workshop is a 3-hour hands-on session led by acclaimed Palestinian American filmmaker Suha Araj, offering rare insight into the real creative process behind shaping stories for the screen. Through a screening of her award-winning short film Rosa and an insider script walkthrough, participants will learn how ideas evolve into structured narratives — including how to write and format a screenplay, develop compelling characters, shape pacing, and apply storytelling techniques used across film and writing. The workshop also covers how to create a lookbook to define tone and mood, and introduces the tools and resources writers and filmmakers use to bring their work to life. Across 3–4 guided creative rounds of prompts and exercises, participants will generate, refine, and clarify their own ideas, with time for questions, feedback, and discussion throughout. You’ll leave with practical insider knowledge, new creative momentum, and a clear foundation for developing your story — whether for film, script, or other written work. No prior film or writing experience required — beginners encouraged! Whether you're a film enthusiast, a writer, or someone looking to learn about different creative mediums with community, this class is for you!
