A Project Between Writers and Filmmakers.
Moving Words is a project that opens a dialogue between writers and filmmakers, intersecting voices of diverse backgrounds and all ages. Each year 10 writers (chosen through submission) will have their work made into a short, experimental film crafted by student film makers who are inspired by the writer's work.
The 10 films will be premiered at a local film festival with the filmmakers, coordinators and writers all in attendance.
Moving Words is an ARTS By The People project made possible by a generous grant from The Santiago Abut Foundation, in loving memory of Santiago Abut.
