Minter Dialogue with John Fortson
John Fortson is a filmmaker, living in LA, who produced, directed and starred in the much acclaimed short film, Rated. His film has been selected by over 30 film festivals and won 19 awards thus far (check out the trailer below). In this interview, we discuss the inspiration for Rated, the meaning and purpose behind the film, which looks at how society is increasingly able to rate everything and everyone openly. John is an innate storyteller and reveals some of the secrets of his craft. We also look at the lessons for brands and marketers want to create engaging stories.
