Stories don’t just entertain us, they build new worlds for us to explore. But whose worlds are they? What is more impactful - showing life as it is, or as we wish it to be? And are we being honest about messy, funny, awkward truths, or are we smoothing the edges to make things more palatable and accessible?
At this year’s OKRE Summit, we ask the provocative, sometimes uncomfortable questions that get under the skin of storytelling. How does authenticity create impact? How do the smallest, sharpest details of lived experience breathe life into fiction? And how does collaboration - between creators, audiences, communities, charities - reshape what makes it to screen?
