Theo Anthony is a renowned artist and documentary filmmaker based in Hudson, New York. We invite storytellers working with all mediums to join this exciting workshop about creativity and ideation.

Starting with the “anatomy of a scene,” Theo breaks open one of his scenes, giving participants a window into how he makes creative decisions, his preparation, references and research. Participants take part in an activity to jumpstart ideation and consider how to take a conceptual idea and work it towards concrete manifestation—whether that be a film, piece of writing or material object.
