In the Age of Social Media: A Literary Video Lab with Joyous Windrider Jimenez

In the age of TikTok, Instagram reels, and YouTube shorts, how can you present your writing in a way that’s on trend and easily consumable? Would you like to use your digital platform to showcase your work in a new way and expand your audience? In this 6-week course, we will use simple, open-genre writing prompts to generate short poems and/or impactful prose. We will then create short literary videos that include an audio recording of the work, captions, and either moving or still images. Our entire project will be built and edited using a FREE video editing app available for phones and laptops!

WORKSHOP DATES:
Thursdays, Sep 21, 28 & Oct 5, 12, 19, 26, 6:30-8:30pm CST, in-person at Gemini Ink

COST:
