Speaking, Engaging & Inspiring
Annelise Larson presents at Vancouver Web Fest 2016
Annelise Larson loves nothing better than sharing her knowledge and experience with a room full of filmmakers, writers, producers, video game designers and other media creators. She has the ability to excite and inspire at a time many are feeling overwhelmed by the demands made upon them, by funders, distribution platforms and fans. Annelise helps reframe the digital space as one of great opportunity for storytellers, especially for those who want to tell tales under-represented in the mainstream media. Participants leave these sessions and courses with practical knowledge they can start applying right away as well as many ideas about how to plan a more strategic and successful future. Check here for recordings and powerpoints of select previous presentations.
