Development

In this phase of the filmmaking process we journey together with your film idea or draft of your script AND the intention to develop it into an excellent ancestral and community accountable Black Feminist script that can be made into a movie. An excellent script means it conveys not only the story but is deeply rooted and has all the necessary information that the entire cast and crew will need in order to do their jobs effectively.

We have material offerings and hands-on services to support those interested in just getting a basic introduction to development from a bf* perspective AND a deep dive for those interested in engaging the Black Feminist Film School methodology for filmmaking in longer and more in-depth ways. Individuals and organizations can reach out to me@sangodare.com.

Script development: The Bf* Script

This experience is great for those who have little to no experience & those with some experience with script reading or writing. You will walk away with the tools to 1) develop characters and a story that you can 2) put into proper script format and 3) edit your scripts for clarity.

Script Development:
Character & Location

This experience is great for those who have been introduced to script writing all the way up to professional script writers who are interested in filmmaking/scriptwriting from a Black Feminist framework or as spiritual practice. Here we root down into legacy.

Script Development: Themes & Timing

This experience is great for the pros, intermediate writers and those interested in a non-linear approach to a logistically specific art like filmmaking. This course follows character & location. Here we allow themes to function as ceremony inside of the script.
