Why Stories from the Past Matter More Than Ever
This Is For The Actors, Screenwriters, Filmmakers and Writers
This Is For The Actors, Screenwriters, Filmmakers and Writers. It has been a hell of a week… but let’s face it.
In Uncertain Times, We Need Resilience
History shows us how others faced hardships with courage. Revisit these stories to fuel creativity and strength in your own work, even when times are tough.
In Crisis, We Need Creative Solutions
The past is packed with creative problem-solving: Artists, leaders, explorers, displaced persons, expatriats and other everyday people devised innovative ways to adapt. Uncovering these can inspire fresh approaches in your storytelling.
Connecting Audiences to Humanity’s Core
Stories—past and present—show the universal struggles, dreams and emotions we all share. Digging deep into the past helps your audience see their own lives reflected in unexpected ways.
Breaking Isolation, Building Empathy
Isolation breeds misunderstanding. By exploring diverse historical perspectives, you help audiences bridge the empathy gap and bring hidden stories to light, fostering a world that values connection.
Your Role in Preserving Legacy
As a storyteller, you’re the link between the past and the future. Every tale you bring to life honors lives once lived, reminding us all that resilience, compassion, and hope have been here before—and are here to stay.
Let's keep creating, connecting and learning from history’s rich tapestry. Maybe what you create could be the spark that makes today’s challenges a little lighter for everyone.
All best,
