Watch Your Audience Grow

This headline from the Hometown Life newspaper grabbed my attention. As I read down the page, I realised it referred to Detroit’s Madonna University’s Livonia campus’s contribution to Christopher Coppola’s Accessible Hollywood drive and that it was really a story about digital storytelling.

"This is the Detroit-area’s third annual Project Accessible Hollywood (PAH-Fest) — an entirely free digital media festival where participants create everything from cell-phone movies to six-minute digital films."

The Madonna story:

The PAH Festival: "PAH-FEST’s goal is to use the democratizing power of the digital media revolution and the internet to connect people from all walks of life. Visual storytelling is the new universal language, particularly amongst young people. PAH-FEST offers participants the opportunity to discover the “artist within us all,” and to provide entertaining, quality content to the general public."
