StoryBug 2024: Digital storytelling of AMR lived experience
StoryBug founder Becky McCall, a medical journalist for 20 years, explains:
"StoryBug works with people who have real-life stories to tell about infections, drug resistance and antibiotics.
Through creating and sharing stories (3-5 minute ‘mini-films’) about how resistant infections can often have unexpectedly far-reaching impacts on people’s lives, we want users of antibiotics to think twice about how, why, and when they use this precious medical resource.
No professional film makers are involved. StoryBug helps the people and patients who have experienced resistant infections to create the videos themselves – scripting and voicing in the first person, using their own mobile phone-sourced images, and even editing the finished product.
This authentic and direct approach places the person or patient front and foremost in the story-making process."
