Queer Sewing Circle: Embroidery Workshop!

September 2019

Fun little document/promo for the sewing circle's workshops.

Made for Kyle Howerton's Advanced Digital Media Production. The assignment was to shoot a fun/lively video of whatever you were doing over labor day weekend, and it just so turned out we had scheduled the sewing circle's first workshop for that very weekend! A lovely confluence. I did some pre-production in the days before laying out the rough story arc and some shots I knew I wanted so I had an outline of what I'd be doing when we got there. Everyone in attendance very kindly was ok with me sticking my camera in their stitches, and hey, I still managed to learn some stuff about embroidery!

As I say in the description for the video, the music is the opener for Frankie Cosmos' amazing album Close it Quietly. Give it a listen, it's really good I promise!
