Workshop Participants
Billie has been a journalist since 1993. She teaches, does radio and writes. She works freelance doing all kinds of radio; documentaries, features, debates, portraits and more – working as reporter, host and editor. She also does communication, mostly for NGOs. She trains union members to talk to journalist and write articles. Billie very rarely does news. She finds it boring.
Billie participated in the October 2014 MediaStorm Methodology Workshop. She had the following to say about her experience:
MediaStorm tells beautiful and touching stories about human beings and their lives. It is storytelling at it’s finest, and I wanted to know about their work process, their development of stories and how to make money working on projects, that tend to swallow a lot of time. The methodology workshop gave me all of this. I also learned, that you can make fine stories in a week or two, which should be possible for anyone. Watching and analyzing the films was a great process, and Brian is a sharp and inspiring teacher. I found fine inspiration on how to keep track on a lot of recordings at the same time. Eric’s way is an eye opener. But most important I take back the passion of working on my own projects and the importance of spending my life on work that matters. I will begin to find out what not to do in order to find time to do stories like you guys.
