visual storytelling workshop

The hkiyany® Storytelling Workshop in creekside Dubai is an intensive, hands-on, collaborative experience in advanced multimedia storytelling.

A Unique Approach The primary goal of the hkiyany® Storytelling Workshop is to create an intimate, character-driven documentary that is ready for publication. Participants will work directly with hkiyany® producers, in the field and in the editing suite, as part of a crew dedicated to telling a story. Participants will create their stories from character around the creekside under the direction of hkiyany® producers in a collaborative, educational and hands-on environment.

Who Should Apply?  This is not an introductory workshop but a workshop for seasoned storytellers who have experience and are looking to further expand their storytelling capabilities.

Participants will be working at a fast-paced professional level, moving from story concept to a completed multimedia story in a week.

Enrollment is very limited. Teams are very small with two or three participants and one or two observers.
