About
Rome wasn’t built in a day… but this town will be! Inspired by the Solarpunk movement and science fiction world-building, participants will work together to design and build a futuristic neighborhood out of cardboard, paper, and clay. The only two requirements for this new neighborhood is that the community lives well with each other and the land! What kind of future can you imagine?
This workshop will teach youth ages 11-14 how to conceptualize a fantastic world and build a miniature set. Very useful skills for writers and set designers alike!
Email river AT nwfilmforum DOT org with any questions.
This workshop has a suggested registration fee of $100, but we do offer a sliding scale, pay-what-you-can model for those who need that option.
