Saturday Story Sessions
Starting May 9
Free live conversations with working professionals —
on story, craft, and the realities of the industry
This isn’t another generic writing webinar.
You’ll hear directly from professionals working in film, television, and storytelling - people actively creating, producing, and shaping stories right now.
What you’ll walk away with:
A clearer understanding of what makes a story actually work - on the page and on screen
Insight into how writers, directors, actors, and the industry approach story
Fresh perspective on where storytelling is headed - and how to adapt with it
Upcoming Sessions
Gavin is a director known for pushing the boundaries of real-time filmmaking, including live-broadcast film and single-take features.
