Our Mission

We believe stories have the power to inspire connection, compassion, and care. This festival elevates diverse voices, empowers storytellers, and fosters deeper understanding of the societal challenges and triumphs that shape our communities.

What to Expect

  • Compelling digital stories that challenge perspectives and spark dialogue
  • Interactive discussions with storytellers and fellow audience members
  • Community connection through the universal language of storytelling
  • Inspiration and insight that extends far beyond the screening room

Whether you attend one screening or both, you'll leave with new perspectives and a renewed appreciation for the power of authentic storytelling to create positive change.
