Collaborative Storytelling

About

We believe a message is stronger when we all come together and the best way to deliver that message is through authentic storytelling. At Seenit, we enable you to connect your community voices from around the world to build these stories, which move and empower, educate and inspire others. Our platform allows you to build the most powerful, trustworthy on the ground camera crew in the world. Emily Forbes, founder of Seenit, first discovered the potential of collaborative storytelling in South Africa whilst making a film about rhino conservation protesters. During the protest she noticed how everyone, not just the professionals, was capturing what was happening around them on their phones. This raw authenticity inspired Emily to incorporate these wider views into her film. Initially, Emily manually collected video clips from these protesters, but quickly realised that it would be far more efficient if people could upload their videos instantly to a central online platform for her to view and edit.  With that, Seenit was born: a video collaboration tool with the potential to connect budding filmmakers and broadcasters with advertisers, news organisations, and employers that want to source video from their own communities.
