Overview

Bios, about sections, and selfies get the most attention for a reason - it’s because your audience WANTS to know more about you! Sharing about yourself is such an important part of creating a connection with the people who support your creative journey - and that truly applies to everyone, no matter what you do or what your business is about. But wait: there’s something that’s even better - having an “about” video! Videos are the kind of content that gets the most attention online, so why not create one for yourself? 


Join creative couple Linda & David (Kinlake) as they demonstrate a super fun process of how you can create a beautiful video that will hook your audience and truly tell your story in a compelling way. The best part? No tricky equipment needed! All you’ll need is your phone to get it done - from start to finish.


In this course, David and Linda will take you through a complete step by step process of how you can write and compose your story in words and images, give you guidance on how you can capture the best kind of footage to represent your personality and process and of course, how you can put it all together to create a beautiful video that will represent you in your authenticity.
