248 pencils has captured and produced video for the Secret Society of Twisted Storytellers since September, 2012. The humorous, captivating and compelling real-life stories from this unique Detroit-based series have been viewed by thousands in performance and on YouTube. It occurred to us that viewers who missed the live events were also missing the short, hilarious bits between storytellers provided by the masterful Satori Shakoor. In April, 2014, we introduced a new feature to the Twisted Storytellers channel – “Satori Story Shorts.” [See other stories as well as music and dance performances: www.secretstorytellers.com]
