Digital Film
There is a lot of talk about storytelling these days – as if telling stories is something new.
“Story” was not recently invented by some ad agency, reality TV producer, social engineer, or me. Fact is, since before people were painting on the walls of caves, stories have been used to teach us, entertain us, and move and inspire us.
I want you to see or hear something real that you will never forget.
When stories are told with authenticity, it feels different. You’re not a manipulated target of a blatant marketing message that is trying to sell you a product or an idea. Authenticity and agenda cannot occupy the same space at the same time – audiences know the differnce because real, is real.
Completely un-scripted and completely self-produced, here are some samples of what I do.
Do you know of story that you think should be told? Tell me about it.
