“The Introduction to the Art of Broadcasting Stories”

The Art of Broadcasting was an amazing course that really helped to shed a light on the future for me during the pandemic. It was humbling to be part of a group of young creators that all had such different projects but were clearly benefiting from the mentorship of an industry professional. We formed a small family!

I learned so much about the film industry & really gained so much more “insider” information about the Industry. I recommend this training to anyone and everyone interested in the film industry whether you are an Actor, Producer, Director, Executive Producer, Crew, and more. You will gain new skills and insight!

I was able to see the profession of producer as a complex art that integrates the notions of business, marketing, self-knowledge, the power of the message that we want to bequeath to future generations, group strategy, and the importance of working together.

This program provides you with an insider perspective of the entertainment industry. I'd describe it as, 'hands-on knowledge'. The program is curated for emerging artists, creators, writers, producers, and directors.

It was transformative attending the Art of Broadcasting Stories (AOB) training sessions! During the training, I learned how to develop my own project and create a business plan! I learned how to write a proper synopsis, do market research, budgeting, timeline, and build a great team, as Sabrina provided us with the necessary tools and resources to succeed and keep things organized. The best part was crafting and practicing my pitch and having access to and getting feedback from experts in the industry.

During this training course, I learned how to be a better producer. At first, I was learning by doing, which meant I was making some mistakes because I had never done half of these things before. I learned about developing budgets, financing a TV show, pitching and discoverability reports. I also further developed a TV show of my own through this course. Everything I learned helped me to refine my previous pitches for my TV show and allowed me to have a better understanding of how it gets from script to screen. After training, I applied everything I learned to a film production I am currently producing and raising funds for. Also, I’ve been pitching my TV show around and looking at funding for it from organizations.

What I've learned during this training is how to put together a project intended for different broadcasting formats, following a clear and detailed structure, allowing me to frame ideas concretely. Then, I got to practice on the court how to pitch a project to members of the film and television industry. After the training, I realized that it is much simpler to follow this process and it can be applied to any project I want to pitch. The training has given me an overview of the various resources available for funding, and access to a supportive circle.
