The Film: Common Threads
Reel Causes is thrilled to host the second annual Common Threads event, a program of locally-made short films. The anchor for this event is the incredible, inspirational and complex works of Intersections Media Opportunities for Youth, including the delightful collection of animated shorts Messages to Younger Selves, including films by Justine – Juliette Grindley, Kayla Reid, Aaron Clark, Jacob Sexsmith, Eli Terlson and many others. At times clever, heartbreaking and often landing very close to home, these gems remind us how resilient the human spirit can be.
We are also pleased to announce we will have a special Preview Screening of Trish Neufeld’s documentary film Save Space Nugget. The film documents the story of a determined Vancouver Island community who came together to save their forest from the landowners who intended to harvest it for profit, and in doing so created a new future for their community. It’s a David and Goliath story with inspiring personal tales about what can be achieved when people take action, and sometimes great personal risks, to achieve a common goal.
