It can impact everyone. A powerful illustration 👇🏻

A great way to build community around a film is to treat it like an appetizer. The film comes before the main course : -The Discussion With the overload of content in front of our eyeballs. We're no longer discussing the topics of a film collectively. However, we filmmakers can gather a group of people in a crowd and start the discussion ourselves. I think in more of our screenings, we need to leave extra time for a Q&A not just about the film itself. But about the topics in the film and how we feel about them in everyday life. It's a great way to get people involved and also remember it after the screening is over.
