Beyond grateful to the incredible team and partners (especially ) that came together to make this project what it is.

Winning feels great, but knowing that Douglass’s legacy and impact are being shared with more people has been the best part of this project.

Thanks to for giving us a chance!

We're beyond thrilled to share that our short film about Frederick Douglass's speech, created in partnership with Western Reserve Academy, is premiering at the Chagrin Film Festival this week.

When we first heard that Frederick Douglass had delivered a commencement address at Western Reserve College, we were eager to learn more.

What we didn't anticipate was how deeply moving this project would become for our team, and how prescient his speech still is 170 years later.

We're excited for you all to see the finished product!

Festival Showtimes:
Thursday, October 9, 7:15 - 8:26 PM | St. Joan of Arc
Fri, Oct 10th, 7:15 PM | Chagrin History Center
