Kinetic Creative Studio recently completed a three month project with the California State Library. We produced a series of ten mini-documentaries by and about local Sacramentans, designed a suite of multimedia training materials and led a series of public workshops on the art and technology of digital storytelling.

This project was a part of a larger state program designed to put the knowledge and tools for digital storytelling into the hands of the community. The goal is to create an audio-visual tapestry of California life called "California of the Past."

Using Apple's iLife '09 suite of tools, residents can tell short stories of their personal experiences, family histories, places of interest or anything about life in Sacramento that is important to them. These stories are preserved in the permanent archives of the Sacramento Room, posted on the library's website, and are available for checkout from the audio visual collection of the Central branch.

The Digital Story Station project will continue at Central Library, downtown on 8th and I Street, and anyone interested in telling a story should contact one of the Digital Media Artists on staff by filling out an online application.
