Hey TSL fam, we're so excited to finally bring you our live panel sessions from the San Louis Obispo Film Festival,

otherwise known as the Slow Film Festival.

Thank you so much to Randy, Grace, and Sky for helping coordinate this.

This first broadcast is our story workshop that we've done before.

If you've listened to our live Austin episode, you've heard it there,

or our Workshop

to your patrons have heard this before.

And I'd encourage you to really take it all in, as I always say, hearing Megan Lorian

Workshop other people's stories is always a brilliant way to shed light on our own.

So this was an amazing panel.

Thank you to everyone at Slow.

Thanks for the great questions and buckle up for a great episode.

Hi, guys.

Hi there.

It is awkward to use the mics, but I guess because they're recording this for the

podcast, we have to.

Before we dive in just logistically, do you all know what is happening during this panel? I just want to make sure so...

Did someone tell me? One thing our show has kind of grown is this story workshop that we love to

conduct which is a chance for you all to come up and we use the word pitch but it's really share a story that you're working on with us and we would love to work with you to kind of help workshop that story and figure out what's really working and maybe make some suggestions to really get you toward

I think the story your heart wants to tell so if you're interested in coming up to quote pitch to us

please sign a release form did anyone who wants to pitch can you raise your hand if you sign a release form. Did anyone who wants to pitch, can you raise your hand

if you signed a release form?
