StoryGive is a movement made up of film and video creatives who desire to give of their artistry and skill to craft a story for voices rarely heard. Administered by the Nashville Filmmakers Guild, StoryGive takes place in a single weekend, two days, where teams of creatives set out to capture and produce a story for another non-profit in the Nashville community. This is a scripted short film illustrating the org's mission or the experience of the people they serve.
