EWS041 - The Social Story Project
Today we’re going to be telling a story about telling a story.
For the last 8 years my business, Innovate Media, have been working with businesses locally and around the country to tell their stories through video. Last year, in 2017, we launched something a little different and we call this the Social Story Project. - a special project in which our aim was to uncover a story worth telling in our local area, and then to donate our time and expertise to tell this story in a short film.
And as of this week… the first social story project film was released.
My guest today is Doug Lecole. And Doug works for me here at Innovate Media. As Digital Content Producer, Doug is the camera, editing, and motion graphics powerhouse in the office that makes stuff happen for our clients.
