On March 7th, I attended the Indiana Writing Workshop in Indianapolis, an experience made possible through support from the grant. The conference brought together writers from across the region for a day of craft sessions, publishing guidance, and opportunities to connect directly with literary agents.

Over the past year and a half, I had the incredible honor of designing and facilitating workshops as part of the Silver Screen Filmmakers Club. Through five cohorts and 25 weeks of classes across multiple locations, I had the joy of guiding participants, aged 65 and up, through the process of creating short documentary films.
