Rather than following a recipe, we like to examine each individual element and experience how it contributes to the overall experience of narrative. We like to play with different tools and techniques to evaluate their function and aesthetic. Our goal is to help you understand your favorite storytelling ingredients so you can create your own story recipes.Find us on Youtube at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_dKd8rCPs3ew84UBK9kdow" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Story Kitchen Studio</a>.
