The afternoon begins with Deck & Sip™, a fun, guided workshop where filmmakers and multidisciplinary creatives can make real progress on their pitch decks. Bring your laptop, a creative project or project idea, and any notes, images, references, or written materials you already have. Al’Ikens and Edson will guide participants through pitch-deck structure, project language, visual thinking, and practical tools for transforming loose materials into a clear creative presentation.
At 6pm, the program continues with Sinema Chat, a curated screening spotlighting the work of Haitian filmmaker Al’Ikens Plancher:
