Professor Sydney Chalfa of Macon State continues to break new ground in the expanding field of Digital Storytelling. One of the leading proponents of the use video in the telling personal non-narrative stories, her teaching style enlightens non-professional to higher levels of skills and attributes in telling those comprehensive tales.
Recently Sydney joined numbers of Digital Storytelling proponents in Lakeland, Florida in teaching a workshop on the subject. Between July 11-15, Professor Chalfa shared her personal teaching style with educators from across the Southeast. The genre allows even the most inexperienced child, adult, or a storyteller to get their point across in the most personal form. A former student of the groundbreaking Joe Lambert led San Francisco Center for Digital Storytelling, Chalfa has been a pied piper for the genre.
With the increasing tone for not-for-profit budget cuts and the drying up of grants for documentary film-making. Digital storytelling has the possibility of being a gateway or bridge mechanism for filmmakers until economic stability is regained and the documentary genre is stabilized in the not so near future.
