Audiences can participate in this special Foley presentation to learn how everyday items are used to enhance the auditory experience of the movie. This workshop will include taking a short film to pre-production where the audience will add sounds using items/props provided. Presented by Footsteps Post-Production Sound Inc.

Not Here, Not There
Not Here, Not There is a mixed-medium experimental narrative film that consists of a stage play, with a screen playing premade visuals that the talent on stage interacts with. The process involved shooting the visuals to be projected on a screen, creating a stage play from those visuals, and recording the play in multi-cam in front of a live audience. The end product is a piece centered around self-identity and how one perceives their own identity to oneself and to others.
