Digital Stories

For the most part, a digital story blends 21^st century media culture with traditional narrative in a short 3 to 5 minute movie to evoke thought, feeling and perhaps even empathy. Ultimately, it helps us connect. If we can create a memory of who we are at this time in our lives that raises awareness above the thin layer of the page, we might move people to value our progress and path as much as our final product.  Adding the digital story to the online resume creates an awareness of being, rather than simply of having been. It engages the world by producing a new way for us to talk about ourselves, our lives and our dreams.
