3. Pure Oceans - Michael Jorgensen

On this episode of The Big Intermission, Michael talks with us about how Press had to cancel interviews, rework timelines, and communicate the uncertainty surrounding the Broadway shutdown with the general public. Some of the shows he was working on were in previews, others had just opened, and some were recasting. What they all had in common was that Press had to completely rework its strategies and messaging. Since recording the episode, Michael has been let go along with many other theatre professionals during this time. He is optimistic about Broadway's return and is hopeful of returning to DKC/O&amp;M when that happens.

Checked your intellectual property (IP) lately? Would it pass indie filmmaker Michael Jorgensen’s sniff test? Is it U2 but true?Michael Jorgensen has built a reputation with PBS, Discovery Channel, National Geographic and the History Channel by providing them with non-fiction stories that are a) Untold and b) Unbelievable (but true!). He explains how ‘pitching’ a story first involves getting into the head of your potential client and source of funds by asking yourself the same questions that the potential funders are asking themselves. And he lists the “Big Three”.Michael’s breakdown on how times have changed in terms of technology, program creation and distribution should get your attention. Current trends have had a tremendously positive impact on your ability to get your product to the public without having to go through the traditional gatekeepers – unless you want to. (This podcast series is living proof of that!)This master storyteller explains the difference between narrative and non-narrative storytelling. His definition of “story” is compelling and should guide your every effort in creating your own story. We’re not just talking “drama for sale” here. In many ways you need to create and tell your own story every day. Personally and professionally. Whatever your creative endeavor, remember that Michael Jorgensen has built a tremendous career on two basic building blocks: relationships and storytelling.Your turn. Your life is a story.
