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


Listen Later

Ale Vidal of  www.ale-vidal.com 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

    Connection was something that was always important to me. – Ale Vidal

    For me, as a storyteller, I didn't want to take the focus away from this heartfelt story of just that couple. – Ale Vidal

    Emotion is the translation of those values, the values of the person that you're filming, your values, like the emotion comes from that or at least real emotion comes from that. – Ale Vidal
