Capture Video – Learn the Art of Storytelling

Learn the Art of Storytelling

Though Jessica Piscitelli Robinson’s primary job is producing videos for, and let’s not forget, running, Capture Video, in her spare time she is a storyteller and a storytelling coach.

Through Better Said Than Done, Jessica hosts and performs in shows that revolve around storytellers sharing true and personal stories. Better Said Than Done has recently celebrated it’s 2 year anniversary, and was voted one of the “Best Performance Acts in Virginia” by Virginia Living Magazine for 2012 and 2013.

Over the past two years, Jessica has worked with many students of the art of storytelling in Better Said Than Done’s storytelling workshops. In each workshop, students learn the basics of good storytelling – from structure, to character building, creating drama, to figuring out where to start. Jessica’s background in screenwriting, fiction writing, and storytelling are all part of what make her a qualified storytelling teacher, and her experience conducting interviews for client videos make her a great coach.

Here’s what one student had to say about the storytelling workshop:
“I really enjoyed your class. It was so interesting learning about the nuances to storytelling. And the way you get us right into it was great! Great class for those that need a new hobby, or for those that want to increase their speaking impact!” -FD

Jessica will be leading a storytelling workshop on May 11th.

Writing and producing tie together in more ways than you might think. A great video tells a great story. Jessica’s background in creative writing, and her experience as a storyteller, helps her find the best way to tell effective stories through video production. Teaching storytelling, as with teaching anything, means she’s always learning more about the art of storytelling, just as working in video production means she’s always growing creatively as a producer.
