Story
Mission Statement
On Story promotes diversity in front of and behind the camera by spotlighting the work of a variety of voices who use the language of film, television, playwriting, and podcasts to tell a story.About The Project
What We Do:
For nearly 25 years, Austin Film Festival has hosted panel discussions with the screenwriters, creators, and filmmakers behind Hollywood’s most acclaimed movies and TV shows:
Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird),
Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad),
Callie Khouri (Thelma & Louise),
Ron Howard (Apollo 13),
Issa Rae (Insecure),
Alan Yang (Master of None),
Harold Ramis (Ghostbusters),
Gale Anne Hurd (The Terminator),
Keenen Ivory Wayans (In Living Color), and many, many others.
Our Perspective:
For the past seven years, the On Story Project has shared these rich and entertaining conversations about the power of storytelling with audiences around the world for free on public media. At no charge, film and TV lovers can access all past and current episodes of On Story in its various formats: a PBS-distributed TV series, a PRI-distributed radio show, a podcast, a book, and an archive hosted at the Wittliff Collections.
Why People Love the On Story Project:
On Story is one of the few shows on the air that shares passionate discussions about the creative process of storytelling for the screen from the storytellers themselves.
Listen to Scott Frank (Out of Sight) talk about his experience writing in the Marvel universe for the Oscar-nominated film Logan. Watch Alan Yang (Master of None) talk about the collaborative environment of comedy. Hear Norman Lear (All in the Family, The Jeffersons) discuss the path of his career as one of the most influential contributors to the landscape of situational comedies and progressive writing in Hollywood.
We Create a Sense of Community with On Story:
When you contribute, remember that, in addition to championing celebrated storytellers in our programming, On Story supports filmmakers behind the camera, employing local filmmakers - writers, directors, production and post-production crews, animators, and more - in the process of making the shows, thus promoting the creative process and local film industry while celebrating the creators and their movies and TV shows.
Your Support Is Vital:
Funding for the arts in public media is at an all-time low, and while Austin Film Festival covers a significant portion of the budget, it can’t do it alone. Over the past eight years, On Story Project has been self-funded as a nonprofit corporation with support from generous sponsors. Now we are turning to you, lovers of film, TV, and the artistic process, and asking for your help in underwriting this next season of On Story. Your participation in this creative project will help pay for production and post-production costs—shooting, animation fees, editing, sound mixing, etc.—investments that will further improve the quality of programming and help us continue to bring On Story to audiences worldwide for free.
A big thank you to the amazing team at Wunderman for the inspiration and support.
