MediaStorm employs an intimate, documentary approach to storytelling that is heavily influenced by traditional photojournalism.

We start by focusing on a single, lead character, and our aim is to tell their story in the deepest and most authentic way possible.

Central to our ethos is spending quality time with our subjects in an effort to earn their trust and get as close to their honest lived experience as possible. We don’t set up situations or have a preconceived idea of the story. Instead we spend time, we listen and we document what is real.

Our goal is for our subjects to open their hearts and lives to us in an effort to co-create a story that will educate and inspire those who watch it.

Our packaging and distribution methodology plays to the unique storytelling canvas of the web and leverages the diverse distribution possibilities now available for greatest reach and impact.

We maximize the cinematic and emotional impact of a subject’s story with linear films. We move informational elements out of the films and showcasing them instead through interactive experiences like slideshows, timelines and maps.

When people share their intimate and personal stories, we feel a deep responsibility to honor their lived experiences in our work.

We believe their stories have the power to change the world.

You can see how our approach to storytelling fulfills this ethos in the outline here.
