WHAT IS A POINT OF INFLECTION?

A point of inflection is the focal moment of a period of change, the specific instant where the situation shifts from one state to another, from positive to negative, from before to after.

PROJECT OVERVIEW:

The project is called Point of Inflection. It’s a collection of short pieces of writing (150 words or less each by approximately 12 writers) around the idea of the focal moment of change (a “point of inflection”), expressed in any way the writer chooses. Local artists Christoph Prevost, David Phu, and Michael Champion will then create a cinemagraph and accompanying musical composition that interprets that piece. We will showcase the collaboration in a final gallery exhibition where the pieces of writing are displayed next to the cinemagraph that they inspired (likely displayed on a TV). The event would be held as part of an upcoming issue launch for Sad Magazine, and there may be an additional opportunity for your piece of writing to be published in the Movement issue.

WHAT WE WANT FROM YOU:

LENGTH 150 words or less.

CONTENT  Express the concept of the point of inflection however you may interpret it.

DEADLINE Submissions due December 15th.

COLLABORATION Work with us to tweak your piece as needed.

WHAT YOU WILL GET OUT OF IT:

The satisfaction of meeting new people, collaborating on a cool project, and seeing your piece put to video and music.
