Are you passionate about storytelling and interested in using your voice to tackle social issues? Join us for an immersive script-writing workshop led by Samer Beyhum, a dynamic Lebanese-Canadian filmmaker known for creating socially relevant content. This workshop, in collaboration with Hunna Arts & Culture Center, is designed for aspiring writers, filmmakers, and anyone eager to craft compelling narratives.
Over two intensive weekends, participants will delve into the art of storytelling, focusing on the creation of short scripts that resonate with the themes of Ard Ba'alat—a project centered on social issues and powerful narratives. Through guided sessions, you'll have the opportunity to develop your own stories while working collaboratively with other participants to bring these ideas to life.
