Storytellers

PODCAST: Aubrie Canfield

Aubrie has a wealth of knowledge and experience in crafting stories visually, and together we discuss the art and practice of documentary storytelling – from the hero’s journey to effective production workflow, along with the ethics of telling other people’s stories, and much more.

PODCAST: Klaus Thymann

As a documentary storyteller, Klaus has walked an unconventional path, developing a range of different skills along the way that allow him to create and manage multidisciplinary projects. Since 2008 he has achieved this in part through Project Pressure, an organisation he created with a focus on climate change.

PODCAST: Rebecca Conway

A few years ago Rebecca made the transition from picture editor and written-word journalist to photographer out of a desire to explore stories visually, and feeling a greater affinity with photography. She focuses a lot on the impact of conflict on people’s mental health, and what it means to live with the aftermath of war and conflict.
