MediaStorm is saddened by the passing of the legendary photojournalist Sebastião Salgado.
We had the honor of spending many hours with Salgado while producing a film on his personal journey and remarkable body of work for the ICP Infinity Awards in 2022.
Lights in the Shadows follows Batman of San Jose and Crimson Fist as they hand out water and food to the unhoused community in San Jose.
During their missions they discuss their views about what is leading to the rapidly growing homelessness crisis in their area, the common misconceptions other citizens have about the unhoused and what policymakers can, and should, be doing to help the most vulnerable in their districts.
The project was produced by nine participants and two staff members during the 2024 MediaStorm Storytelling Workshop.
We’ve created a case study that details how we built the Seattle AI Film Festival website.
The website serves not just as a document of the festival itself, but as a record of the early stages of generative AI filmmaking at this historic moment in time.
Great stories come in all shapes and sizes, and there’s no follow-the-numbers chart for how to make one.
That said, after producing hundreds of films at MediaStorm, we’ve identified some common approaches that help make documentary stories more meaningful and powerful.
