Your Participants Have Stories. We Help Turn Them Into Tools for Healing.
Discover how Out Of The Ashes helps organizations guide participants through a story-based process, then transforms the script they create into a professionally produced short film and companion workbook that can be used with future clients and program participants.
Most Programs Rely on Generic Materials.
But generic workbooks and training videos often miss the real experiences of the people sitting in the room. Your clients deserve resources that reflect their world, their challenges, their emotions, and their path forward.
That is why we created a process that helps participants build a fictional story from real-life themes — then we professionally produce that story into a short film and workbook your organization can keep using.
What Makes This Different?
The participants are not just receiving the material. They help create the foundation of it.
Through our guided process, participants:
- Explore real issues through fictional characters.
- Process difficult experiences with emotional distance.
- Build a script rooted in their lived realities.
- See themselves as authors of their own story.
- Help create a resource that can support future participants.
How the Process Works
We facilitate story-building sessions.
Participants explore themes, challenges, emotions, and turning points through a structured creative process.
Participants create fictional characters and scenes.
The story is inspired by real experiences, but participants are not required to directly retell their own trauma.
Together, they build the script.
With our guidance, the group shapes the story, dialogue, conflict, and message.
We film the short film with them.
Participants bring the story to life on camera while our team handles the filming and production process.
We create the finished film and workbook.
Your organization receives a professionally produced short film and companion workbook built around the story your participants helped create.
During This Webinar, You’ll Learn:
- How story-based programming can help participants engage more deeply.
- Why fictional characters can create a safer pathway for processing real experiences.
- How our 6–8 session process works from start to finish.
- How we turn participant-created scripts into professional short films.
- How the companion workbook helps organizations use the film with future clients.
- How this creates a lasting resource your organization can use again and again.
The End Result Is More Than a Film.
Your organization walks away with a custom resource created through the voices, experiences, and insights of the people you serve — then professionally developed by our team into a tool for future programming.
