What is the Cinematic Impact?

Think of an iconic image—the first one that comes to mind. It could be a photograph, a painting, or a moment from a movie. Why has thatparticular image stayed with you? What does it say? Now, imagine leaving the same lasting impression on others.

We are surrounded by images from the moment we open oureyes. They are so woven into our daily lives that we hardly notice them. There’s a difference between looking at the world around us, and observing an image—every image is made with a purpose, and we instinctively search for its meaning. When we discover it, it’s as if a voice quietly shares a message meant just for us.

Few art forms use images as powerfully as film. Movies draw us in, making us forget ourselves as we follow a story. This is the Cinematic Impact—a direct connection to the part of us that loves solving mysteries and listening to stories. The Cinematic Impact Workshops are designed for storytellers like you, giving you a way to reach your audience using the wisdom of visual storytelling. No technical skills or special tools are required, because images can be created in countless ways. With the Cinematic Impact, you’ll uncover your personal story, understand your audience, and use cinematic techniques to create something unforgettable.

Hi, I'm Tal.

I am a cinematographer and educator.
For the past 15 years, I have designed and led popular workshops at top film schools, including the American Film Institute Conservatory, Columbia University School of the Arts, Sundance Collab, and Berklee College of Music.
As a cinematographer and director, I have worked across diverse genres—comedy, thriller, action, and drama—and my films are available on major streaming platforms.
My new book, The Language of Cinematography, is set for release in 2025, and my workshops and articles can be found online.
