Join us this January 22–26, 2026 for a brand new, in-person *Story Boot Camp* in Orlando, Florida!
For the first time ever, Aaron Blaise is teaming up with longtime collaborator and producer *Chuck Williams* (Disney, *Brother Bear*, Disney Shorts, *Sonic the Hedgehog*) for an immersive 4-day workshop focused entirely on the art of storytelling.
In this hands-on experience you’ll learn:
• Story structure & emotional beats
• Character creation & world building
• Plot, theme & scene construction
• How to shape an idea into a pitchable short film
• Daily team exercises + small group story development
• Creating your own pitch deck
• A behind-the-scenes look at how Aaron developed his award-winning short *Snow Bear*
… and much more!
Each student gets their own Mac mini workstation to research, build visuals, and develop their project throughout the week.
Whether you’re an animator, writer, filmmaker, game designer, or simply someone who loves great stories — this workshop will give you the tools to bring your ideas to life.
