Scenario Storytelling, placing yourself or an imagined character somewhere in the future, where they are coping with likely new and complex situations, has been an important part of life planning, and organizational planning for decades.
Join Joe Lambert on a unique six week workshop to have you create stories about the future.  Participants will use a mix of AI image, video and audio generating tools and Wevideo editing software.  

Based on the Postcards from the Future project of this year's 100 Year Project at Arizona State University, Lambert will walk participants through imagining, scripting, designing and producing a 2 - 4 minute story that imagines an issue, idea, or context that informs your thoughts about what is in store for the world in the years to come.
