Episode Synopsis

The Storytelling Lab is a series from Shadowgraph that shares raw, practical tools for telling stories with minimal resources. It’s for filmmakers, writers, and audio producers: anyone building stories from the ground up.This week, Shadowgraph host Ross Domoney reflects on the rucksack as the centre of modern independent filmmaking. With lightweight cameras, compact audio gear, and a laptop, you can now travel anywhere, capture a story as it unfolds, and bring it home ready to cut.It’s about the freedom to work without a crew, to move fast, and to stay close to your subject: carrying everything you need on your back. And the weight isn’t just physical. Inside are the voices, places, and moments collected from afar: stories you now carry with you.To see our films, behind-the-scenes breakdowns, and tips, head to our YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/@Shadowgraph_TVFollow ShadowgraphInstagram: @shadowgraph_mediaNewsletter: www.shadowgraph.coYouTube: Shadowgraph TV
