Wisconsin Film School Shooting Doc on “Fashion Show for All Abilities”
The Wisconsin Film School, in partnership with the Waisman Center of UW-Madison, will produce a 30-minute documentary on a unique spring fashion show at Monona Terrace — the Fashion Show for All Abilities — featuring more than 40 models with disabilities. You can join the production team for this important, hands-on workshop.
Three of the models will be profiled as they prepare for and participate in the climactic runway event May 27. The film will be made entirely by students under the supervision of professional documentary filmmakers and social workers for the disabled.
The students will be divided into three production teams. The teams will receive intensive, hands-on training in making documentaries, including camera, sound and lighting. The Waisman Center, a world-class center for the study of human development, and producer of the fashion show, will consult and instruct on ability issues. Over the course of a month (we anticipate six days of instruction and shooting) the three teams will follow three models into their daily lives.
Each team will include one student with a disability.
In its five years, this extraordinary fashion event has never been filmed. The workshop and film will broaden understanding of disabilities and capabilities and affirm the common human story of overcoming obstacles and making dreams come true.
