Next CMF Evening Event – 22nd January
Storytelling - Can we be More Adventurous?
Jocelyn Stevenson, producing the event for CMF, describes what the discussion will cover...
Venue: Lewis Silkin Llp, London EC4A 1BL
Date: 22nd January, 6.15 - 8.30
There are many influences on storytelling, from those that have to do with the craft - such as who the audience is and which medium or platform is being used to tell the tale - to those that have to do with commercial realities.Do pressures that have nothing to do with telling a story put a stranglehold on our storytelling? Financing, commissioning, "received wisdom," safety concerns - and other factors beyond the writer's control?Does second-guessing what will or won't work commercially limit our ability to do something different, to break through - to tell stories that are uniquely ours?
How can we use the changing media landscape to take more risks with our stories? And in doing so, how can we cater for a more diverse audience?
