VOL. 3 — STORIES BEYOND THE FRAME
01 — The theme
A frame is a decision. It shows you where to look and hides the rest.
The films people carry home are the ones that make them feel what was never shown. For Vol. 3, we ask teams to move past the edge of the shot: the silence between lines, the room behind the door, the life that goes on after the cut. Bring a crew, a script and a point of view. We provide the workshop, the screen and an audience.
02 — The details
Seven or eight people. One film.
