Digital Non-Linear Storytelling

Digital Non-Linear Storytelling
Workshop Thu Jun 20 10:00am - 1:00pm LSPU Hall $50/$25

Thursday, June 20, 2013
LSPU Hall 2nd Space
$50 or $25 if prepaid by June 1st, 2013

Facilitated by Elsa Morena. Digital storytelling goes beyond the traditional convention of storytelling by integrating new media to create, communicate, and interact with your audience in a way that has never been done before. As digital storytelling continues to evolve in the industry, digital storytellers are often successful by knowing and understanding what makes a good story, and using the proper technology to tell it.

In this workshop, we'll explore examples of successful stories on multiple platforms, and understand the options that are available to reach an audience through new media.

The 9th Annual Nickel Screenplay Series

The Nickel Independent Film Festival invites submissions of short screenplays for its 9th annual Screenplay Series Workshop. This workshop is held during festival week to encourage participation and networking with other filmmakers.

For the workshop, a director is assigned and casts are chosen from the professional community. The first half of the workshop day provides an opportunity for the writer to work with a director and professional cast to rehearse the script and provide feedback.

The works in progress will be presented in a free staged reading to a public audience for their feedback and questions at 3pm.

Films developed through this series and then independently produced include Tammy Teardrop (Phil Caron, 2009), Four Sisters (Wanda Nolan, 2010), Clipper Gold (Joel Thomas Hynes, 2011) and Her Son (Stephen Bryant, 2012).
