...an innovative workshop for people with disabilities

to develop and produce a four-minute film.

"I was chosen, along with only 5 other disabled adults from Alberta to work on this project.  We made a 9-minute film about kids with disabilities.  I got to operate the boom microphone and hold the CBC camera on my shoulder."     -Kris Kulpe

During the fifth annual "Picture This Film Festival", Kristopher and the other five workshop participants, along with the film crew created a film from scratch about adults with disabilities.  Here is what Kris did each day:

• Day 1 & 2 - Saturday, February 4th & Sunday, February 5th, 2006
• Story Structure Workshop - participants came up with ideas for the film
•  
• Day 3 - Monday, February 6th, 2006
• Pre-Production of Video - participants planned what shots would be taken and where.
