Film in Mind practitioner Poh Lin Lee and filmmaker Gabrielle Brady have just completed a 4 week consultation group on hybrid filmmaking and narrative therapy.
They curated this group according to four themes that they found significant in their own collaboration – (re)orientation, memory, response and translation. Within the generous and care centered atmosphere that the participants established, Gabrielle and Poh Lin shared anecdotes, ideas and references that have nourished and inspired them in their cross-discipline process and offered creative prompts, narrative therapy inquiry and experiential exercises for the filmmakers to explore their projects.
One participant shared in the final session, “This whole experience was very poetic and artistic. When I signed up for this I loved the term narrative therapy and yet it’s been the opposite of anything clinical or analytical. Every time I came in here it reminded me that I’m an artist. It set a beautiful space to delve into some serious things.”
Another has also allowed us to share their feedback, “This workshop was a rare and necessary space. The weekly sessions over the month allowed a unique progression to explore our projects using truly liberating, non extractive practices. The warmth and integrity of both tutors enabled me to speculate and liberate both my perspective and relationship to how I make work.”
This workshop will run again in 2026, please contact us if you are interested in joining.
