Contribute to the making for our feature length documentary, 'Speaking of Freedom'

'Speaking of Freedom' was inspired by director Stephanie Warren's undergraduate thesis 'Create Freedom'. While creating the body of thesis works, her greatest obstacle was the discomfort she felt from peers and professors when introducing themes of freedom as topics of inquiry. 

Any complex question must first be approached by defining its terms. Upon the thesis' completion it was clear than trying to lead nuanced discussions of freedom in America, people must first understand, for themselves, what it means. So, we asked people . 

With the great help of co-producer Sidney Titus-Glover and DP Jourden Fenner, the film begun its production in the winter of 2023. With over 60 completed interviews we are grateful to report early excitement for its completion as both a feature film, as well as a primary resource collection for academic libraries. 

We are looking for funding to help us broaden the depth of our database, by supporting our travels through the United States as we seek out discussions across a spectrum American profiles. All funds contributed will go directly towards gas, airfare and rental fees. Lodging, food and equipment are currently all supported by the team, out of pocket. 

Any extra funding generated will go towards distribution.
