Helen Dewbery launches Kickstarter to support publication of a guide to making poetry films
UK poetry filmmaker Helen Dewbery is turning her years of experience in creating poetry films and leading workshops into a book called How to Make a Poetry Film: A handbook for poets.
How to Make a Poetry Film is a step-by-step guide to creating a poetry film. Each chapter covers different aspects of poetry film and is designed to build skills and confidence. As you progress through the book, you’ll learn:
- where to find the tools to make films at low cost
- how to put everything together
- how to make your films stand out
The style is supportive and clearly delivered. By engaging with the fourteen activities, you will have planned and made at least one poetry film and gained the skills to make many more. All you need is a phone and a little imagination.
In the book I share with you what I have learned over fourteen years of teaching and mentoring. I have tried to bring the same ethos here that I bring to my workshops: a relaxed and enriching learning experience.
Click through to read the rest and make a donation if you’re able. Let’s hope that the situation with shipping from the UK to the US is resolved by publication time!
