SUMMARY:Storytelling for Social Impact Workshop 2019 Calling for Candidates
DESCRIPTION:Mission Vietnam is seeking candidates for an American Film Showcase (AFS) workshop on storytelling for social impact. In September 2019\, the American Film Showcase will host a professional exchange opportunity at the University of South California (USC) School of Cinematic Arts for international storytellers and content creators interested in using media for social impact. The two-week exchange is designed for small teams of content creators and social impact practitioners (individuals working directly with the targeted communities)\, developing projects in film\, TV\, radio/podcasts\, video games\, and other storytelling platforms\, with a social impact goal in mind. The primary focus of the workshop will not be on the craft of creating specific content\, but on how to use story and character to develop and implement an effective audience engagement campaign. \nThe USC School of Cinematic Arts and the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism are the leading research institutions working at the intersection of entertainment content and social impact strategy. USC faculty and visiting professors regularly train non-profits\, governmental agencies\, and independent storytellers on effective strategies for developing compelling storylines\, often across platforms\, for tangible social impact. USC faculty will lead this workshop with visiting guest lecturers from across the entertainment industry. Participants should leave the workshop with a clear strategy for their project for meaningful engagement and participation with audience communities across multiple media platforms. \nProgram Dates \nArrive Los Angeles: September 28\, 2019 \nRest Day: September 29\, 2019 \nProgram Days: September 30 – October 11\, 2019 \nDepart Los Angeles: October 12\, 2019 \nNomination Process \n\nTeams made up of 2 – 3 individuals each may apply for this program.\nParticipants must be proficient in English.\nAt least one nominee per team should be female.\nApplicants should fill up the form https://bit.ly/2WyrfqG by June 13\, 2019.\n\nIdeal Candidahttps://bit.ly/2WyrfqGtes \n\nA team of 2-3 individuals made up of 1-2 content creators and one social impact practitioner.
