Penn State Public Media’s Creative Group connects people through the power of film, video, and interactive stories.

Stories are how people communicate.

Stories have always been central to how we learn and how we get things done. A moving story can often inspire and motivate people in a way that rhetoric cannot.

Tell us your challenges.

You don’t need to come to us with solutions. Tell us where you want to go. Together we’ll employ creativity and experience to help you reach your goals.

We'll motivate people to action.

Story-based media solutions are what we provide. The equation is simple, the variables are ever-changing. . . but the resulting solution is always the same problem + story + media = action
