„Writing is a lonely job,” writes Stephen King. It requires a lot of self-discipline, dedication, stamina, confidence... It’s ridden with as much joy and excitement as it is with fear and anxiety, especially at the prospect of that inevitable and vulnerable moment of having to show your writing to other people.

We are proud to present the participants of 2022 HerArts Film Lab.
