Let’s build a virtual community together where content creators can create, develop, inform and entertain. The trajectory of changes in technologies and demographics is making more and more opportunities available for you to leverage your skills and passion – individually and collectively – in the crowd-sourced economy.  Our central focus is entertainment content and its related mediums in digital imaging and storytelling…the new ecosystem paradigm of filmmaking, television, web and mobile worlds.

Big Story Group members, collaborators and industry experts provide idea, brand, business, marketing, concept development and execution to bring your content to market.  Our web properties will enable writers, filmmakers, photographers and other creatives a learning, collaboration, development and networking environment.

Our programs will help fuel the cultivation and development of entertainment content and facilitate broader opportunities for creators.

The low cost of entry to produce quality content and the democratization of funding and distribution make it feasible for more content creators to participate. The tsunami of interest and action by individuals to create and produce content has grown exponentially making it possible to produce and share it with millions using new, accessible digital distribution channels.

Everyone is Welcome

  • Writing – Everyone is a writer, which is great.   But now what? Big Story Group programs include three kinds of feedback and coverage opportunities: Member based where qualified members review and critique submissions,  industry experts who provide their view of your submissions and competitions that are judged by visitors, members and experts.

  • Filmmaking – To selfishly continue our passion with filmmaking. We have been involved in numerous facets of the filmmaking industry including acting, directing, producing, writing, ancillary product development, marketing and worldwide distribution for two decades. Like you, we want to do more…much more.

  • Photography – One founding member has been behind cameras his entire life. From professional portrait sittings and weddings to published landscape and fine art gallery representation when Kodachrome was king.  We have all been around the block…several times, in many cases. As early adopters of everything digital, we love the excitement of these times.

  • Web – Being early adopters in the use, creation and development of ideas for the web two decades ago, we continue to be involved and fascinated by its potential to leverage content creators. Now that the pipeline and bandwidth make it possible to consume all forms of content from any device, we expect there to be many new forms entirely web based and opportunities for content creators that haven’t even emerged yet.

  • Composers & Performers – The sharing economy is only one aspect of a more general development in the entertainment industry – platform capitalism – and the music industry is already leading the way ahead of other segments of the entertainment industry. Though there is much to do to ensure everyone’s success, musicians, composers and performers are leading the way by testing new methods of marketing and distribution.

  • Television – The press has been reporting the demise of television for some time, but of course it’s not true. Television is morphing from the original analog broadcast model into whatever the audience demands…all made possible by the new digital paradigm. A substantial percentage of TV’s will be connected to the internet by 2015…the future of the original small screen is a blank canvas.

  • Funding – You need it but may not have it yet — which is often the case for a significant percent of creatives.    Our background includes fundraising for projects of all kinds — we are also in a position to produce projects that meet our criteria…and we can’t wait to see what comes through the doors that might spark our interest.

  • Brand Fidelity – Our business: support content creation, development and distribution. We’re building a team of experts who have developed marketing and business development strategies across a broad range of disciplines, working with major Fortune 500 brands worldwide including Disney, Warner Bros., DreamWorks, Time Inc., Twentieth Century Fox and Universal Studios.

Back to you…you are the reason content is created…the audience…consumers of content. In the new paradigms, hundreds of thousands of you are now also shifting into the role of ‘creators’ of content. You may have great ideas and stories and talents that engage others. We’re planning great things to inspire, develop and entertain with creative types looking for opportunities to explore the new world content horizons. Stay tuned by subscribing or following.
