Our Social Media
Our Mission
To create a platform, haven and safe space for Jamaicans and foreigners from all walks of life to share their truth, art & journeys via the rich & timeless oral tradition of storytelling.
Our Vision
To establish Long Story Short… as an international cultural extravaganza synonymous with ground breaking, transformational storytelling & musical offerings.
By 2025, we aim to position Long Story Short… as the biggest authentic local platform for storytellers, musicians & visual artists to bare their souls, share their journeys & gifts. We will achieve this lofty vision by:
- Aligning this experience with various locations of notable cultural significance and creating various versions of the concept that can be adapted to suit different audiences & demographic groups.
- Continuing to improve the production quality of the show with the ultimate goal of having it aired on local television/international streaming platforms in order to reach the wider Caribbean diaspora & the world at large.
