Impactful Stories that Create Connection and Inspire Action

In the digital age, video-based storytelling is essential. The ability to share a compelling story that can influence beliefs, attitudes, and values can make the difference between the success and failure of every community-focused project
or social purpose organization. The most compelling stories in our lives rarely occur in front of a camera crew and video production is expensive and very difficult to do well. Digital Storytelling solves these problems.

Digital Storytelling (DST)
Meaningful. Cost Effective. Compelling.

A digital story is a 2-to-4-minute movie created with images and video clips, voiceover narration, music, and various video editing techniques to help you create authentic digital stories that enhance resilience and advance your organization’s mission.

Don’t hide your organization’s impact inside dusty reports. Envision your mission shared and brought to life through authentic stories that move audiences to action.

Participants will leave with a rough outline of their story.
