Join BFI Network South West for an online masterclass with Thea Gajic, writer-director of Surviving Earth.  In this session, you’ll explore how to develop stories rooted in lived experience, and how to thoughtfully incorporate real-life material into your filmmaking.

Thea will discuss the development process, when to stay close to real events, when to step away, and how structure and perspective influence the story that you tell. She will also reflect on collaboration when developing as a writer, and how to navigate the process in a way that looks after your boundaries and wellbeing.

This masterclass is designed for filmmakers who want to draw on their own experiences while maintaining a strong and flexible development process, equipping you with practical tools to bring person-inspired stories to the screen.

Date: Thursday 14^th May

Time: 12:00 – 13:00 (online)
