The only way our stories are told is if we tell them. And the only way to survive and thrive in our purity as artists is if we support each other. We don’t have to wait for permission or to be chosen. We can make and share our life’s work if we cultivate community.

**This screening included a Q&A with the filmmakers behind In Her Name.

It’s stories like DiNG that will continue to change the game in this industry. By bringing visibility into unknown territory and radically expanding the scope of what is exposed to the collective, art will always find new points of impact, perspectives will shift, and new voices will rise and inspire.
