Description

Brainstorm a story, think up costumes, dream of music, collage a movie mood board - be a creative director and bring a movie idea to life! Join me on Sunday, October 24th, 2021 from 10:00am- 1pm (Pacific Time) for an in person Creative Wanderlust Experience where we will gather at Tongva Park in Santa Monica to learn how to be a Creative Director and bring a movie idea inspired by LA surf/beach culture through drawing, collaging and writing. Our experience begins with a few engaging wanderlust warm-up exercises talking about the history of surf & beach culture in Los Angeles, the film and television industry and discussing the significance of our surrounding area. With our new found creative energy and the ocean air to inspire us, we will then dive into filling out our handmade individual journals, brainstorming movie ideas through various hands on prompts and ideas. We will think up a fun story, craft characters, think up costumes, discuss dialog, dream of music and ultimately collage a movie mood board representing our ideas. Personalized instructions will be offered throughout to teach us how to capture the story we want to tell through our various exercises. Participants will leave inspired by our surf-vibe experience and with a colorful illustrative journal filled with ideas just waiting to hit the big screen! Skill Level This experience is open to all skill levels. As we explore this location, and engage in creative exercises I will provide approachable instructions to help everyone follow along no matter their ability. I will also provide step by step details and be available for individual help throughout the event as we write, sketch and collage.
