Nathalie Costa Thill (Moderator), Alex Abramovich, Kirk Sullivan, Mitch Teich

Overview:

Storytelling in Film: The Story, whether it be fictional or true, is central to all film projects therefore it has to be told in the most compelling way possible. In this conversation we will talk with journalists, oral storytellers, and of course filmmakers, to discuss their approach to storytelling and how those strategies can be used in filmmaking.
