In the world of business and marketing, stories have power. They have the power to capture attention, to resonate, to move people to action, to shape perceptions and to drive loyalty. Business leaders and marketers are increasingly recognizing the val-ue of Storyselling as a powerful strategic tool. As Peter Guber, a noted film producer and CEO of Mandalay Entertainment, said, “Stories have a unique power to move people’s hearts, minds, feet and wallets in the storyteller’s intended direction.” Consider the case of Apple Inc. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in the late 1990s, he faced a company on the brink of bankruptcy. To resurrect the brand, he used Storyselling to reframe the company’s image, recasting Apple as a rebellious upstart challenging an industry titan, Microsoft. He told con-sumers, “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers!” This narrative of thinking differently resonat-ed with consumers and helped turn Apple into one of the most valuable companies in the world. Indeed, research backs the power of Storyselling. According to a study published in the Journal of Marketing in 2020, nar-ratives are proven to be more persuasive than facts alone. The study demonstrated that when participants were presented with a story, they were more likely to be persuaded by the content, even when the facts were identical to those presented without a story.Show book

Essays exploring the methodologies used by film scholars to develop a spatial history of the moving image. Leading scholars in the interdisciplinary field of geo-spatial visual studies examine the social experience of cinema and the different ways in which film production developed as a commercial enterprise, as a leisure activity, and as modes of expression and communication. Their research charts new pathways in mapping the relationship between film production and local film practices, theatrical exhibition circuits and cinema going, creating new forms of spatial anthropology. Topics include cinematic practices in rural and urban communities, development of cinema by amateur filmmakers, and use of GIS in mapping the spatial development of film production and cinema going as social practices. “Introduces some of the concrete ways practical mapping and GIS technologies help elaborate historical film projects. . . . The scope of many of these projects is breathtaking in scale. . . . Others embrace ethnographic methods that tell poignant individual stories. Still others deftly merge qualitative and quantitative approaches. . . . As a whole, the volume brings together disparate fields of study in interesting ways.” —James Craine, California State University, Northridge “This collection breaks new ground for cinema history. Hallam and Roberts have gathered some of the foremost scholars who are mapping spatial histories of the moving image and the geographies of film production, distribution and consumption. Introducing new interdisciplinary methods and asking new questions, Locating the Moving Image takes film studies into new territory, beyond the boundaries of the text and its interpretation, towards an understanding of the relationship between culture, spatiality and place.” —Richard Maltby, Matthew Flinders Distinguished Professor of Screen Studies, Flinders UniversityShow book
