Fee: $15. $5 for Scribe members, Leeway Foundation grantees, and Filadelfia Latin American Film Festival ticket holders
Currently on a screening tour, Gloria Morán's new documentary The Unique Ladies is introducing members of San Diego's only all-women lowrider club to audiences across the country. At the same time, these extraordinary women's stories are amplified by related content – photographs, testimonials, interview footage – that Morán developed for dissemination across diverse platforms.
Using The Unique Ladies as a case model, Morán will present strategies for developing, funding, and producing digital media projects for distribution through multiple digital media platforms. Topics will include how to 
effectively collaborate with participants (usually dubbed “subjects”) to develop a compelling story; how to organize a successful crowd-funding campaign; how to use different delivery platforms to extend your story and broaden your audience; and how to produce, edit, and prepare content for delivery across multiple platforms including blogs, online photo- and video-sharing services, and social media sites.
Moran's documentary The Unique Ladies screens in the Filadelfia Latin American Film Festival 2013 on Saturday, April 27, 2:15PM at the International House and again on Sunday, April 28, 6:00PM at the Gershman Y.
