I know that James Chutter’s Northern Voice presentation was recorded. Not sure when it will be posted.

You’re absolutely right on the story telling front. Now that I’m aware of it, it’s interesting how you can get instruction or buy a book on writing a story for a book, TV, movie, or stage play, but try finding something on simply talking (as in telling a story around a camp fire).

Information is often dry without storytelling. I think that’s why a lot of educational movies are framed around a story that includes those elements. e.g., People don’t do a story about the Titanic, they do a story about people on the Titanic, and while you’re watching their stories, you also learn what happened to the ship.
Even documentaries will often follow the story of, say, a pair of lions over a year, rather than just talk about lions.

Love this Raul! Very well said! I especially like the way you sign off.

And yes, you, the social media team and the social media panel did an incredible job of telling the story at the Women in Film New Media Day. Thank you!

Hugs,
