STORY LAB

Education meets production.

Story Lab brings students, educators and industry together around real creative projects.

A place to develop ideas, test them, make things and learn how creative work actually happens.

REAL BRIEFS

Every Story Lab starts with something real.

A challenge. A charity campaign. An original film. A documentary. A creative problem. Or simply an idea worth exploring.

Students work on something with genuine purpose beyond an assessment.

INDUSTRY IN THE ROOM

Working filmmakers and creatives become part of the process.

They mentor, challenge ideas, share experience and help turn ideas into something that can actually be made.

ACROSS CREATIVE DISCIPLINES

Story Lab isn’t just for film students.

Projects can connect students across content creation, graphic and art design, photography, animation, fashion, music, journalism, enterprise and other creative disciplines.

Different skills. Different courses. One real project.

IDEAS CAN GO FURTHER

Story Lab doesn’t necessarily end when the module does.

Strong ideas can develop further with FB Studios and, where appropriate, move towards professional production — creating new opportunities for emerging talent.

BUILT AROUND INNERVERSE

Story Lab adopts FB Studios’ Innerverse filmmaking framework.

That means thinking beyond the finished work — supporting emerging talent, connecting work to charities and causes, and making it responsibly with lower environmental impact.

Good work should create more good.

BUILT AROUND YOU

A Story Lab could last a day, six weeks, a semester or an academic year.

It can sit inside an existing module, bring different courses together or become something completely new.

We build the model around the institution and the idea.

WANT TO BUILD ONE?

University. College. Charity. Organisation. Industry partner.

Bring us a challenge — or we’ll find one together.
