Join Sasha Wortzel, director and producer of River of Grass, for a hybrid Be The Media! workshop. Wortzel will reference the work For those of us who live at the shoreline which traces the filmmaking process behind feature documentary River of Grass (2025) and will focus on community collaboration and reciprocity. How might cinema help us to grieve, dream, and reimagine kinship in the face of ongoing ecological and political collapse?

Stick around after the workshop for a screening of River of Grass at 7pm. Workshop attendees can join our special guests, staff and volunteers for a shared meal from 6-7pm.
