My Mama taught me how to mind map 20+ years ago.
And now I do it all the time. For almost everything! Yesterday, I helped 19 young documentary makers generate ideas to shoot for Youthworx‘s Our Voices film project. The mind-mapping definitely sparked their creative juices and I can’t wait to see their docos later in the year!

Ideas I asked the young filmmakers to mind map
* What makes you angry? What do you want to change?
* What are you good at? What do people say you’re good at?
* Who else does the problem in Q1 affect?
* How can you use what you’re good at to solve problem in Q1?
* What do you want to learn along the way?
* Who really needs to see your film?
* What’s the best way to spread your idea beyond your film?
* What can you do so that your film’s not boring or predictable?
* Who/what are you if you remove all the usual cultural/ethnic/diverse references and descriptors?
