Finding the Personal Voice in Filmmaking “Knudsen takes us deep into his own (very personal and successful) creative practice as a filmmaker and collaborator in the pursuit of developing cinematic stories. Out of his autoethnographic exploration, he has developed a rich and powerful methodology: ethnomediaology. This book allows us to reap the benefits of the hugely significant and seminal work of the AHRC StoryLab Film Development Research Network workshops. Of particular value are the series of exercises and questions which the reader can use to problem solve through processes that break down patterns of thinking and develop ideas using the notion of story and narrative resonance.” —Graham Roberts, Leeds Trinity University, UK
