The Art of Storytelling Panel
Oct 19, 2015
Co-presented with the Seattle South Asian Film Festival
"Great cinema declares your brain home and forces you to think differently."
-Lauren Modery
Human beings have an insatiable desire to experience stories. The entire multi-billion dollar film industry is built upon this very desire.
A screenwriter’s dream is to compel the watcher to completely forget about what is going on in their world and become totally enraptured in theirs. To allow these complete strangers in the big black box to delight, enchant, captivate, entrance, bewitch, beguile, thrill, scare and excite them – and have permission to touch their heart and yank their soul.
Good storytelling does just that.
This panel is a conversation with an esteemed group of filmmakers who will share their own secrets and guidelines so we can all be great storytellers.
Come curious. Leave inspired.
