$Be The Media! workshop: Regenerative Filmmaking\u2013 Is it possible?$

Join us for a Be The Media! workshop with the director of "Farming While Black," Mark Decena of Kontent Films. Using inspiration from film clips relating to resilience Decena will discuss the concept of sustainability and methods of regenerative actions as related to filmmaking, but also as a self-preservation concept. Decena will address the highs and lows of activist filmmaking, being overstretched some days/months waiting on projects others, as well as being overwhelmed when things hit all at once, and dealing with the grind of fundraising. He will think with participants various ways to keep moving forward even when things look bleak, embracing regenerative and sustainable practices in farming as translated to filmmaking – or rather, “how to be a regenerative filmmaker” in harmony with the planet and each other.
Stay after the workshop for the Screening of "Farming While Black" followed by a panel discussion, beginning at 7pm.
