INPUT / … / … / Me_ Myself and Eye

In an era of constant self-reference and exposure, there’s no doubt that personal storytelling produces some of the most compelling and visceral programs on the small screen. When a story is told in the first person, it feels more believable, more authentic. But is telling a personal story from the subject’s point of view the BEST way to tell a story? Does giving the protagonist the means of production and control deliver more engaging or compelling content? Does reducing journalistic filters to a minimum deliver more authenticity? How authentic and truthful is Me, Myself and Eye storytelling? And how do you make it worth watching? This session looks at both traditional and new approaches to personal storytelling. Using a variety of production techniques from animation to action cameras, these programs re-examine the meaning of personal. At times disturbing, refreshing, revolting, or amusing, the programs in Me, Myself and Eye pull the curtain on some revealing storytelling.
