Story Over
everything
Stories are the one thing that connects us all. It’s our superpower we use to connect with others. Stories provide us with different perspectives. I believe that as a Digital Storyteller, the story must come first. The story must be human-centric, and it must come from a true place of common humanity. Everything will flow out of the story. The images, the sound, the colours, the movement are all connected to our commitment to story.
