SUMMARY:Trilith Honors Black History Month
DESCRIPTION:Trilith proudly honors Black History Month with a free screening event celebrating emerging Black filmmakers whose work is shaping the future of cinema.\nThe evening features Trilith Institute’s A Mess of Memories\, the award-winning feature film by Georgia-based writer and director Ebony Blanding\, alongside two compelling short films\, Sunhearts and Beyond the Games. \nA Mess of Memories is a deeply human story about family\, memory\, and healing. When adult siblings return to their childhood home to save their mother from losing everything to hoarding\, they discover that the true clutter isn’t just material. Beneath years of accumulated possessions lie unresolved wounds\, unspoken secrets\, and strained connections. What begins as a rescue mission becomes an unexpected journey of forgiveness\, rediscovery\, and reconnection.\nBlanding brings an authentic and compassionate eye to the film\, exploring themes of legacy\, mental health\, and the emotional courage required to face our past in order to move forward. Developed during her time as Trilith Institute’s first Emerging Creative in Residence\, A Mess of Memories is also the first feature film produced with Trilith Institute.\nThe program also includes:\n\n\nSunhearts: A poignant short film following a misunderstood teen navigating grief and self-discovery\, learning to find her voice and inner strength in the absence of a loved one.\n\n\nBeyond the Games: Set against the backdrop of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics\, this short film examines survival\, purpose\, and systemic neglect as a young man is swept into the city’s efforts to hide its unhoused population from the world.\n\n\nTogether\, these films offer powerful perspectives on identity\, community\, resilience\, and storytelling—anchored in place\, memory\, and lived experience.

SUMMARY:Traditional Storyboarding for Teens
DESCRIPTION:A one-day workshop where students will learn the basics of professional storyboarding. Including: How to analyze scripts\, composition\, and visual storytelling techniques. \nA storyboard is a visual representation of how a scene will play out on the screen. It shows the framing and movement of the subject and allows the filmmaker to previsualize what their scene will look like before they ever touch a camera. \nIn this workshop\, participants will walk through the storyboarding process. They will each receive a section of a script and be tasked with transforming their pages into pen-to-paper drawings of what they visualize the scene looks like when filmed. How will the subject be framed? What is the opening shot? Will the subject move? When will they move and where will they land? What action are they taking? Is a POV shot required? Where are they looking? What angle should the camera be set at? How do you “see” it playing out? \nEach decision may seem small\, but how a subject is shot and what images appear in sequence informs your audience about the story – what they should know and how they should feel. For example – how would you visualize a superhero giving an inspiring speech about hope? Perhaps you try to make the subject\, your hero\, look larger than life and mighty in the frame by having the camera be set at a low angle\, thus having your audience “looking up to them”. Do we know if his speech is working? “cut to”/draw a frame of people reacting to his words. Each image in a film matters\, so learn to be intentional in your shot decisions to “tell” a better story. \n
