I had the privilege to meet with a small group of people involved in visual storytelling recently. The group represents a variety of organizations, both for-profit and non-profit, who have a passion for visual story in many forms. We gathered to help give direction to the Visual Story Network. Here’s a quick video summation of the meetings, created by Clyde Taber, the lead facilitator of VSN.

We got our first look at the new web site for the release of The Enemy God in India. It’s almost ready for the public, so I’ll wait to post the link ’till they work out the last bugs. It’s pretty cool – multiple languages, lots of animation, very professional. The same distributor is also working on our release in Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia, then Scandinavia. Odd mix, but we’re cool with that.
We are also fielding inquiries from other territories. We’ll get a report from our sales agent very soon about what they heard at the summer and fall film and television markets. We know of some deals, but are hoping to hear more definite news. It is a long process; we’ve been told by many people that indie films can go through two or more entire cycles of film markets before all of the rights are sold or there’s no more interest.
Patience is something we have learned – we’ve been working on the film for almost eight years already!

One of our major projects (THE major project for the last few years) is now available on a new DVD release.

Recounting 40 years of his life, the film shows the supernatural struggle for the survival of his people.

We are working to develop projects that will involve training in visual storytelling. While our core expertise is in film/video production, we also have partners who have experience in other visual arts including dance, painting, photography, and theater.
The aim of the the visual story training projects will be to bring together artists from different regions and cultures to come alongside emerging artists to help them to grow. This may be done through creative seminars about specific topics or in collaborative projects where an experienced team will come alongside those with less experience in order to co-produce a project in a mentoring/empowering relationship. Our goal is to raise up artists and increase the capacities and effectiveness rather than merely come in and ‘do something for’ a community or organization.
As we develop these projects we will be posting information here and on other networks to open the opportunities up to a wider circle of people.
Still under construction. There is some key information here to let you know who we are, but please come back later or add our RSS feed to your lists so we can keep in touch with you.
You can discover more background about us on our About Us, History, and Projects pages.
