KEYNOTE: An Authorator’s Story with David Biedrzycki

We all get ideas for stories, but the process sometimes gets in the way of writing them. David plans to show the attendees how, with videos and music, ideas that start with a simple drawing morph into a story. David’s stories start that way. However, each idea’s challenge is finding the best way to share it in a story.
