If you have a story you'd like to share about any topic of substance and social relevance, we'd like to hear from you. Email us at info@texas-pictures.com and let's discuss ideas.
We’ve organized many Storytelling Summits in different cities across the US where groups of people come together to share their stories with us. This group approach allows us to make best use of our travel investment and time on location by gathering footage for 6-8 stories per day. This series is self-funded, so our ability to travel is limited by our budget.
First, we need a local event coordinator to find us a suitable location for us to set up and shoot interviews and to help us organize things. We've recorded summit interviews at churches, business conference rooms, hotel meeting rooms, even at a funeral home. Once we have a location and set a date, we will create an online signup page and announce/promote the event on our YouTube channel and on Facebook
BASIC LOCATION NEEDS
- ROOM TO RECORD - a quiet, private space large enough to accommodate the equivalent of a full-size car
- WAITING AREA where storytellers can mingle, fill out releases, enjoy refreshments
- SIMPLE PARKING solution
