OUR STORY

Speak Story believes everybody can have a voice, we see the need for education in video production, photography, multi-media, and well-being through story telling. Where the advertising agency, or content director would traditionally 'tell' the story of another, our process is limitless, we celebrate authenticity and empowerment.  Speak Story has evolved from initiatives spanning over 16 years, collaborating with diverse groups, partnering with oganisations and business to develop a series of holistic digital story telling workshops. Speak Story is a growing platform to connect, educate for the future of community voice and business brand story.

Community is where stories live. We workshop with diverse urban, rural, and business communities to teach the art of making emotive story, accessible across multiple platforms. Our network of local and international digital story partners, community groups, business and creative media professionals collaborate and mentor.  We facilitate you to create your own meaningful stories that transpire, connect, & educate, providing profound experience.

The heart of good community and brand story is not in the sole use of technology, but coupled with the personal emotive voice, this has the power to make change and engage your tribe. Do you have a story to share?

"My projects have taken me on unimaginable journeys, into the cracks of real life. From indigenous communities fight for their identity, to isolated youth finding their way through the suppression of insurgent war.   With the question of the positive impact documentary has on subjects lives, I designed community workshop/s where the participant has the power to create and share their own story. Along this journey I experienced additionally, businesses need to create their own story content, video, photography and brand marketing, thus Speak Story was born". I love sharing the magic of story telling, come join us in opening your creative world.
