Personal Storytelling with Kimberly Reed
A DCTV PRESENTS MASTER CLASS
CO-PRESENTED WITH IFP
Every film has a personal angle. Filmmakers use material from their own lived experiences to construct stories, and viewers find resonance in those stories within themselves.
In this master class, Kimberly Reed will draw on her experience as a filmmaker, storyteller, and magazine editor, and will discuss how to find the universal in the personal and create compelling personal films.
By focusing on Prodigal Sons, her multiple award-winning autobiographical documentary, she will explore how filmmakers can maintain distance and objectivity from their own material, when to take advantage of personal material, and when not to employ personal storytelling strategies.
Other topics will include the unique challenges of working with friends and family, editing your own story, and managing media and technology during the process. Participants will have the opportunity to share questions and experiences with their own personal projects. Reed will share clips from her previous work and from other autobiographical filmmakers.
