"It takes a certain type of person to be able to work with people living with disability, the aged and those with mental Illness. A certain sensitivity, empathetic nature and relaxed demeanor were critical traits we needed to see in the film maker we chose to shoot our latest suite of films.
Kelly Stoner from Little Story Films was our first choice. We had seen Kell’s work over the years and knew she has a remarkable talent for collaborating with sometimes vulnerable people to give them a voice in sharing their story. Disclosure, saying you are different to other people is often quite confronting however Kell extracts the essence of the storyline with sensitivity and care. I am yet to see a film participant who has not immediately trusted the process Kell guides them through.
In short Kell’s eye for detail, her interest in the subject matter, manner with film participants and problem solving skills combine to produce outstanding results each time."

NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art)
"NIDA hired Little Story Films to produce new videos for their suite of Higher Education courses. Kelly’s immediate and deep understanding of the NIDA voice and brand was second to none.
A rigorous project manager, she communicated clearly and regularly about next steps and ensured that deadlines were met at every step of the way.
Her background as a journalist meant she was able to lead stimulating conversations with interviewees, which resulted in powerful testimonials.
Internally, the stakeholders were all impressed by the final videos, which beautifully capture the passion and creativity of the NIDA learning experience."
