Story + Craft: An Evening for Audio Storytellers (FREE event)

North Figueroa Studios / Western Sound, Highland Park, LA

Join us for Story + Craft, a gathering for those who shape stories through sound. Whether you’re a podcaster, sound designer, documentary-maker or narrative audio storyteller, this evening is about connecting with other makers, low key learning from each other, exchanging ideas, and recounting recent experiences.

Expect casual networking, beer / wine / light refreshments, a peek inside Western Sound and the North Figueroa Studios, and a few surprises along the way (maybe even a very special guest or two).
