Testimonials

We have been priveleged to hear the stories of countless individuals and communities. Here are a few of their thoughts about this process called Digital Storytelling.

"Once upon a time we sat around the fire and told each other stories, now —young or old — we can do it with computers. We call this Digital Storytelling and it's made possible by the new tools of media production. We don't need a studio any more to make television. If we want, we can make it on the kitchen table. And this is our desire, for ours is a voice that needs to be heard. Until now our personal stories have been shared only with our family and friends, but our process is about collecting all these invisible histories together...about assembling the jigsaw that is the bigger story of our time, the story that defines who we are."

"I want to tell you the Storytelling workshop was one of the best workshops I've ever been to. Thank you for sharing your experience and expertise and for your encouragement and support when I was struggling and learning. I am eager to go on with digital storytelling (I've got more stories) and with my students."

Shirley Lee, Workshop Participant, Oakland, CA

"This class really opened my eyes to a new way of working and a more open way of sharing the past. Actually I don't really think I'm focused on sharing the past - I just want to hold on to it, tight. My son loves to make art because he loves to give people gifts, it's definitely a different thing. I just wanted to let you know that it was really an exciting and inspirational three days and I look forward to coming back."
