On March 31st, the Lang Theater hosted a showcase from the HAL Narrative Change Fellowship in collaboration with the Rikers Public Memory Project. IMA student Jesse Allain-Marcus worked with fellow Turquoise to shoot and edit a piece centered on incarcerated women and their own frameworks for healing. Seeing Turquoise on stage, radiant, dressed in her signature turquoise, was a highlight of the night. We are proud to have IMA students and faculty be part of this work. 🩵🎬 Photos by Prof Betty Yu #HALFellowship #RikersPublicMemoryProject #NarrativeChange #IMA Storytelling

The 48-Hour Project Challenge is back for its 3rd edition! You’ll work with a mix of IMA students, alumni, and other creative community members (bring your friends!) to make a film or media project in 48 hours. It’s similar to a 48 Hour Film Festival, but IMA’s version is open to documentary, audio-only projects, experimental films, and recorded performance, in addition to narrative films— whatever direction you want to take it. It’s fun to make a short collaborative project, and it also encourages trying something new—maybe you’ll act for the first time, try audio recording, pick up a camera after a long hiatus, or experiment with something outside your comfort zone. It could lead to future collaborations and, if you need to reconnect with making things right now, it could do that too.
