Consultancy

Some of the things commonly explored in these consultations:

• Looking at your processes (like film editing or re-engaging with past experiences) through a trauma-informed lens.

• Practicing co-creation and nuanced consent in collaborations.

• Designing ethical and specific approaches for the community or situation you're working with.

• Exploring relationships within your project, including with human and more-than-human participants.

• Actively questioning colonial, patriarchal and neo-liberal influence on project structure and ways of moving in practice.

• Naming and unpacking those powerful, mainstream ideas and pressures that influence what feels possible, risky or off-limits.

• Being in conversation with feminist and decolonial perspectives in the story making process.

• Having nuanced discussions about how power operates in your project and relationships.

• Supporting film participants and the team to prepare for the film to go public.

• Helping film participants define their participation in projects.

• Reviewing industry processes —like funding applications, casting, and Q&A prep—to help you be more influential in your responses and contribute to systems change.
