Do You Have Stories to Tell?

Storytelling is our global cultural currency. It's how we learn, connect, inspire, and shape the world around us. Our stories are empowering and give us purpose. You've come to Catalyst because you have stories to share and want help bringing them to life. Welcome!

The Truth About Making Stories: Why Catalyst is Unique

​​​Our industry has no set pathway to success, everyone's journey is unique. Creating your show is as much about who YOU are as a person as it is about the story you're telling. Unlike some individual artforms that you can choose to do alone (painting, music, etc.), you can't make a video version of your story all by yourself. You need a network of people who believe in your abilities -  it's all about relationships and trust. 

 

Catalyst courses are unique because we focus on the full cycle of what it truly takes for you to have a sustainable career as a professional storyteller, not just the artistic craft. Almost no other "film schools" takes this comprehensive approach.​
