Storytellers Provide Storytelling To Those In Need

United States of America - March 26, 2022 - Our fast growing video and motion picture storytelling start-up has launched STORYSMART CARES a charitable effort to help further our mission of providing STORYTELLING FOR ALL .

“We believe everyone matters and deserves to have their story told in amazing way by a professional while retaining the intellectual property rights of their story,” STORYSMART Founder and CEO Ron Watermon said. “ STORYSMART CARES is our way of giving back while furthering our mission to provide professional storytelling for all.”

The St. Louis based technology startup has already donated over $24,000 worth of video storytelling services within the St. Louis market since they were established.

STORYSMART CARES
is about expanding that charitable work around the United States by tapping their growing network of filmmakers, TV reporters and production companies.

“A great story on film or video is a beautiful gift that has the profound power to connect and touch people deeply,” Watermon said. “ STORYSMART CARES is about empowering and enabling our growing team to help those most in need in their own communities.”

Each professional storyteller within the STORYSMART network is empowered to do pro bono work on behalf of a client with the support of the company.

The storyteller donates their services in addition to STORYSMART doing the same. Every beneficiary goes through the same client service process, signing a contract with STORYSMART and owning the final work product.

Eighty television journalists/independent filmmakers in 26 states have signed contracts to be part of the network. The company is adding an average of three to four reporters a week and expects to eventually cover every market in the United States.
