This interactive workshop covers the process of making music documentaries, conceptualizing and writing, production and post-production. Participants will brainstorm ideas, find the right approach for the band, learn documentary story telling techniques and work through the creative visualization process. Special focus will be given to creating a music documentary ‘guerilla style’ with only a limited or shoestring budget. Filmmakers are encouraged to discuss their current projects and works-in-progress in this forum, and bring visual material or songs from the band they are interested in working with. There will be time to discuss creative intervention and the music video form. This workshop is open to both musicians and filmmakers.
