IITian -> Filmmaker

Hi, Amrit here, the founder film-maker of 3MinuteStories (3MS) – a brand that came alive in 2014. Today, 3MS operates as a social impact venture of Story99.

After IIT Madras (2003-08, CE), I started my career as a management consultant (PwC). Back then, I didn’t know I would become a short-docu filmmaker one day. Or the founder of a B2B / tech brand & marketing consultancy. But here I am!

You can watch my life-story on Youtube delivered as a 20slidesX20sec talk during a small event in Goa.

Since 2014, 50+ CSRs, non-profits and other organizations have worked with 3MinuteStories to capture their impact on video.


Since 2014, Amrit Vatsa’s 3MinuteStories has helped changemakers & innovators showcase their impact & achievements through powerful video stories.

THE PROCESS

We take care of end-to-end story conceptualization, and shoot planning.

Typically, a fully written script is not needed (unless the video is supposed to be primarily voiceover based).

What we do is, sit with you to understand the objective and based on that, we list down:

* subject-wise questions (with broad idea of expected answers)
* a list of visual shots (that can be obtained when we hit the ground)
* an overall story-flow to guide us during the edit

    Social Impact Storytelling: Do’s and Don’ts

    I’ve been telling impact stories since 2014. And in spite of all the experience, it still takes lot of effort to get it right. Every single time. Whether you are a nonprofit, foundation, CSR or a social enterprise, on one hand you need to tell stories that are emotionally powerful. And on the other hand, you also cannot afford to oversimplify people’s lives, exaggerating your contribution. Definitely not reduce beneficiaries…
