TPX22: Ale Vidal – Creativity, Passion and Staying True to Your Storytelling Vision

Ale Vidal of is a filmmaker, director and story teller, or story weaver, as she likes to describe herself. She specializes in capturing the goals, facts, and feelings of a brand that cannot be expressed through traditional marketing. When you see Ale’s work, I think some words that will come to mind are dreamy, beautiful, emotional and transportive. As a creative, you may even feel what she creates is unattainable, it’s that good. I’ve been working to create this video for Sue Bryce Education for a year – yes, the shots in this video have been collected over a year. I have always been drawn to Ale’s work, her eye for beauty is absolutely remarkable. – Sue Bryce A big thanks to The Image Salon for sponsoring this episode of the podcast and making the show possible.
