We are excited to announce that we will be partnering with LOOK3 to offer a one-day Multimedia Storytelling seminar, prior to the Festival of the Photograph this summer.  Whether you’re already producing multimedia stories, or are interested but don’t know where to start, this workshop with Brian Storm will get you on the right path. The workshop will be focusing primarily on multimedia methodology and theory – this is not designed to teach you how to use your new audio recorder – it’s a workshop where you will be asked to look deeper, into the when and why of different storytelling techniques and approaches.

The Workshop will be held from 10am-6pm on June 10, 2009, in Charlottesville, VA.  We hope to see you there!
