Overview

Learn the elements of storytelling by watching short films.

Why you should Attend

Storytelling is a fundamental tool for human connection, persuasion and memory. Yet many people struggle to understand the elements of this powerful device. Plot, character development, and theme might be allusive as well as deeper implications such as irony, metaphor, and subtext.

In this webinar we will watch a short film together and then spend time breaking down the elements of the story enabling you to understand and identify what is moving the story forward, what the film maker is trying to say, and how it connects to the viewer.

Understanding storytelling improves cognitive function, emotional intelligence, and communication as well as empathy, memory, and critical thinking. 

But mostly, stories just make us feel good.
