Telling a good story through film isn't just about recording; it's about discovering! Storyfinding goes beyond the lens to dig deep into the roots of the narrative space. Before the cameras roll, we engage in robust research and countless conversations. And believe me, your audience may not have the words to describe this when watching, but they can feel it when this is done! Why? Because the strength of a story is measured by the depth of its characters and the authenticity of its context. It's about listening with intent, exploring various perspectives, and uncovering the heart of the story that needs to be told. In this film we created alongside Friends of Westchase, we applied these story-finding principles to create a compelling narrative that resonated deeply with our audience. Dive into the process where every character's voice adds a unique layer to the narrative, paving the way for films that are not just watched but felt.

There is no better way to light up the season than with movies. Our short films are based on the findings of our Annual Digital Rights and Inclusion Report- Londa. Beyond the use of historical facts, we frame the Londa report findings into storytelling while spotlighting the current realities plaguing the digital rights and inclusion ecosystems, and highlighting what various stakeholders should do for a progressive state.

Have you seen the Disney film Elemental? 🔥 🌊 🌍 🌪 It is SUCH an excellent child friendly example of Xenophobia. For my Tech class (7/8 grade), we watched this AMAZING TedTalk from a high school student explaining what Xenophobia is (linked below, because it IS good). Next, we watch Good Chemistry, the story of Elemental. And then of course, Elemental. My end goal for this unit is for them to create a Google site showcasing minority film creators and their contributions. This is a brand new unit I just added, but since this course has no curriculum, I am constantly adding/editing. Do you know of any awesome minority film creators I should make sure my students are aware of?? https://lnkd.in/grUwKJFM

Is Cannes Lions entering a new experience era?? 🤔 As we draw nearer to loading our trucks to take Netflix to Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity for the second time I wrote an article for LBBonline - Little Black Book about how the festival has evolved over the years Are the awards being overshadowed or complimented by the brand experiences that show up…. What takes priority… celebrating creativity or making big business deals…. And will the new creator festival add another dimension to this?? Take a read - let me know what you think - link in the comments 👇🏼 #canneslions #brandexperience #brandexperiences #cannes #article #insights #thoughtleadership

Let's shine a light on the speakers that have agreed to come and share their knowledge and experience in the field of Virtual Production at our vp-days conference. It's only fitting to start with this giant in his field. We all know him, we all love him, but did you know that besides being one of the fines videonauts out there he's also one of the (many) pioneers of the XR/VP workflows? He has a thing or two to say about led volumes, colour spaces, gamuts and networking and you'll want to hear it. If you haven't registered yes, there's still time... https://vp-days.be

A report came out that the AAPI audience is not satisfied with the authenticity and that they would watch more if it was more authentic. Yes, and what does this mean? This raises several questions about what "authenticity" means. Does it require that actors precisely match the ethnic backgrounds of their characters, with a Korean actor, for example, speaking fluent Korean and only playing Korean roles? Should stories adhere strictly to factual representation, similar to what one might expect in documentaries?  I'm all about authenticity, but what's complicated about this issue is that there are so many different types of AAPI that have differences in cultures and how they want to be represented. However, another consideration is whether audiences will engage with content that represents cultures different from their own. The idea that Hollywood could potentially miss out on billions of dollars if it does not cater to these diverse interests suggests that there is a financial incentive to embrace broader cultural representation.  But that’s if we watch other cultures in the AAPI community as well and celebrate when we watch another culture succeed and get screen time, and support with our dollars and attention, even if it isn't yourself represented. While authenticity is valued, too much realism can sometimes result in content that feels more like a slice of life, which may not appeal to all viewers. This is up for discussion but I’d like to see the AAPI community come together more since we have the power but it’s still very divided.
