Hi Sarah,

Greetings from A Bigger Vision Films!?

Our social impact campaign has launched!!! On April 10th we had our first screening event in Atlanta, GA, at the Housing First Partners Conference. It was a conference screening where the community of Atlanta was also invited. There were 600 people there! The reaction to the film was overwhelming. We got a lot of comments about how good the film is, but one common response caught us off guard - “thank you.” We didn’t expect ‘thank you for making this’ as a response. It made us feel so good after working so hard!

"And several folks came up to us and stated that this was exactly the film they had been waiting for - informative, moving?and above all - HOPEFUL!" -Don Sawyer

On May 7th we had our next campaign event in Houston, TX.?As one of the communities highlighted in the film, Houston holds a special place in our history. They show what success in addressing homelessness looks like when a community deeply collaborates on solving the issue. It was great to reconnect with?so many who are in the film, and especially rewarding to see how well those with lived experience are doing today.

Our next event is coming up on May 29, 2024 in San Diego. If you are in the area, head over to reserve your free tickets here. Just days after, on June 4, 2024, we'll be in Minneapolis, MN - reserve your free tickets here. Making this film was an amazing part of our journey, and we can't wait to see where the rest of the journey takes us. We hope we come to communities close enough to where all of you can join us at some point along the trail, and we are working on getting wide distribution of the film after the impact campaign is done, so everyone will be able to see it at some point.? Our intention is to join with others of like mind and similar goals to build a movement of practical, achievable, hopeful change in homeless policies at the local, state and federal level.

"Policies designed to address the existence of homelessness, rather than the DYSFUNCTIONAL approach of managing homelessness as it?perpetuates itself year after year" -Don Sawyer

Get ready - we’re going to need all of you to be a part of this in due time. What we are working on will take a few months, but at a certain point - together with others - with one single voice of clarity we will call to action those like you to speak out on solving homelessness in a way that is a win for every citizen of our country.

Stay tuned! Be well, Don Sawyer and Tim Hashko A Bigger Vision Films ?
