You have a dream. You want to start your own storytelling company. You want to tell stories, you want to inspire people to take action on the issues you care about. You want to share your talents with a new generation. You want to do so much.<\/span><\/p>\n

We know. We\u2019ve been there. And we\u2019re here to help. Our <\/span>workshops<\/span><\/a>, cultivated from over a decade of practical experience, have transformed the way storytellers work:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe MediaStorm workshop cemented for me why I love visual storytelling and just how impactful and meaningful journalism can be in this format\u2013especially when there’s a compelling human story at the centre of the narrative. MediaStorm was the inspiration for starting my own production company in South Africa in 2015, which has gone on to win several African media awards and develop into a boutique but international documentary and long-form storytelling studio. Doing the course in 2016 made it seem entirely possible to pursue what I love to do most, in an era of great uncertainty and upheaval for journalism across the board. MediaStorm’s dedication to impactful, compassionate storytelling with relentlessly high production values remains my greatest inspiration. I highly recommend this course to anyone who needs reminding why film is the best medium and why visual journalism is more important than ever. \u201c <\/span>Diane Neille<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> Managing Director, <\/span>Chronicle<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/i>“Coming into the MediaStorm Methodology Workshop I already had a dream, creating an organization that would work on the intersection of visual storytelling with social impact. After the workshop, equipped with a much better understanding of the capabilities required to do great storytelling, I followed up and by July 2018, in partnership with my daughter and graphic designer Alejandra, we founded the nonprofit organization Home Storytellers. We already produced our first film named Hot Dogs on a Tricycle<\/a> (Ed Kashi Director of Photography) for our partner organization Asylum Access. The film is being used by Asylum Access to advance their communication and development program. The film is already an official selection of Berlin Short Film festival and the Respect Human Rights Belfast Film Festival. Additionally, it won an Award of Excellence by the Impact Docs Awards competition. Thank you Brian!! Thank you and your team for being such an important part in making my vision a reality.” Francisco Torreslanda<\/span><\/a>, Founder & Director, <\/span>Home Storytellers<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
