MINDFUL MINISODE: Why Telling Your Story Matters Part 2: Elevating Your Mission Through Video

I remember the moment I got the call to go to film school. 

I was happily enrolled at NC State, majoring in Communication. Doing the college thing. 

One day, I was walking through the brickyard past the Chick Fil-A and it hit me. 

I have always been a storyteller and if I'm going to go through 4 years of schooling, I might as well be doing something that lights me up, right? 

Ever since I was 10 years old, I had a camera in my hand. Making “music videos”, fake news broadcasts with my sister as the news anchor (lolllll), short films, filming christmas morning, literally anything I could think of I was shooting it. 

Communicating a visual message has always fascinated me. Film is a portal to human connection. 

I want to capture every single memory. 

I want to steep my being in experience and never forget it. 

That day at college, I called my Dad to tell him I wanted to go to SCAD and study film. He said “cool, let's go check it out.”.

Cut to: Dad and I sitting in a tea room in Savannah, GA. 

Those 4 years at SCAD shaped me. Learning the ins and out of filmmaking invoked a sense of belonging I had not yet felt in my life. 

As a filmmaker + storyteller, I feel the power of video in my bones. 

Today on the podcast, I chat about “Elevating Your Mission Through Video” as Part 2 of Why Telling Your Story Matters. 

I take you behind the scenes of the Brand Documentary process + explain how you can use video to connect deeper to your brand voice, yourself and your people. 

So, what’s your story?
