Workshop Participants
Anna Katrin Nørgaard works as an independent filmmaker in Denmark. She produces documentary films for the Danish Broadcasting Corporation and web film for different clients.
Anna Katrin has more than 18 years of experience in storytelling, mostly in the TV field and human-interest stories.
Over the last 7 years she has been directing and producing feature-length documentaries for Danish public service television, from both Denmark and Asia (My Life With Orangutans - 60 min, and Back to Freedom - 84 min), and a series about food, cooking and culture from Africa ( A Taste of Africa).
In the pipeline is a documentary about a monk from Myanmar, who wants to become a man and take part in the changes of his country. Anna Katrin went to Yangon to start shooting this documentary right after being at MediaStorm.
Recently in the summer 2013 after being on staff at the Danish Broadcast Corporation for 13 years, Anna Katrin Nørgaard started her own company; NosyKat.
Anna Katrin participated in the November 2013 MediaStorm Methodology Workshop. She had the following to say about her experience:
I first met Brian Storm in 2012 at a conference in Denmark for journalist and photographers. I had never heard about MediaStorm before. I was sold. And now exactly one year later I have joined the Methodology Workshop in Brooklyn. Lucky me!
When you start your own company you can easily end up finding yourself doing something that you really don’t want to do. For the money, for the prestige, for a lot of reasons that really have nothing to do with great storytelling. A week with Brian Storm and his very skilled staff got me back on my old track – only get involved with your heart – only get involved in stories that matter. That makes the best stories. And don’t think you can do everything yourself – hook up with the very skilled people you know. Share knowledge. Share tips and tricks and you will be a happier – and a better storyteller.
In my company NosyKat, I have already used MediaStorm as an inspirational platform for my newest client work. It helped me a lot. It got the contract. And in 2014 I will produce 20 films for the web using stills, sound, video and great motion graphics just like MediaStorm.
I highly recommend this workshop – one of the top 3 I have ever joined in my 20 years as a professional storyteller.
