​Let me introduce myself!

​I’m Joshua Reed (@J_shwahh), a filmmaker and fellow member of this space. After two years of production, I’ve completed the rough cut of my documentary feature, The Gift, and I want to share it with you all as I value feedback and creative minds in this space.

​I need two things from you:

​1) Your honest feedback - What’s working? What’s not? Where does it drag? What do you need to see more of?

​
2) Your skills! - If you or someone you know can help with finishing funds, color grading, sound mixing, music, graphics, animation, or impact producing, let’s talk after the screening.

​This is a story about our generation’s fight for economic justice—and I need your sharp minds to help shape its final form!

​Best,

​Joshua Reed

​Writer/Director, "The Gift"
