What Is A Digital Story?

A digital story is a short 3-5 minute film that combines visuals, a voiceover, and music put together with video editing software. As a digital storytelling facilitator, I work with individuals and groups of up t0 6 people to frame important life moments into a meaningful story that shares the wisdom of a lived experience. Research shows that creating a digital story benefits both the storyteller and the audience, and that digital stories can contribute to educating communities, creating lasting change and ensuring that the human experience remains in our system of health and wellness.

How Does the Digital Storytelling Facilitation Process Work?

Through the process I work collaboratively with storytellers to craft an impactful narrative from real moments that have formed their life. We write and record a narrative, select visuals and music to emphasize the tone and events, and when complete, we make a plan to share the digital story with a chosen audience.

Creating a story together is a meaningful process of reflection on the diverse life experiences that bring us to today. At the foundation of this process is an ethical framework that puts the storyteller’s wellbeing at the forefront.

What Can We do with a Digital Story?

A powerful tool for education, research, advocacy, and therapeutic experience. These are just some of the ways that a digital story can be of use:

• Access the patient voice

• Bring human experience to data driven information

• Engage with your stakeholders

• Tell your origin story

• Connect with your community

• Process a life experience
