Photograph: Jeff J Mitchell In Kyiv Academy of Media Arts (KAMA) we try to challenge our student’s creativity with any means possible. We want them to be in constant search of ideas, or rather beginnings of Stories. Every small detail can hold a «big picture». The course of «Storytelling» in KAMA had to be practical and effective. Every student was given a reportage picture of a real event and had to come up with the story based on that image only. The best storytellers had a chance to work with a production team to make their script into a short movie. An image of a soldier in a woman’s dress at his friend’s funeral inspired a winning storyline and a short movie was shot in the following month. The short was than distributed to the local film festivals to attract new students and promote the KAMA brand. Film
