“Advocacy and Storytelling” / Artist Panel
When it comes to advocacy, storytelling is often the difference between a dry statistic and a deeply moved audience. Join special guests working on the frontlines of creating content that has the impact to change the world and join the conversation yourself in a casual, Q&A format.
Presented with support from Herrington Fitch Family Foundation
“Stories of Hope” / Opening Night Shorts Program
Hope isn’t always a grand anthem - often, it’s a quiet melody found in simple stories. Like a sprout breaking through concrete, small narratives remind us that even in stillness, we are always still finding our way.
