Digi60 opened the door for Hingman to explore narrative filmmaking. Join Hingman as she recounts her journey from the first screening of her film as a community submission in 2017 to placing as a finalist in 2021 at CBC's Short Film Face Off! She will share some reflections and lessons learned along the way.

This is an interactive discussion and we encourage emerging filmmakers who may be on an untraditional path to join in!

10 seats are available for the in-person discussion and it will be streamed out to Facebook Live as well.
