When you own your story, you can write the ending.

Winning over your trauma through filmmaking creates catharsis in a profoundly interesting and artistically bold way. By attempting to overcome through reclaiming trauma through storytelling, making the journey one that is extraordinary and immersive.

You cannot do vulnerability alone - so we can’t do cathartic realism alone. We need to be more real with each other - let’s start with our experiences, the way we experienced them.

Let’s do it together. All in. All of us. You are not alone.

The tenets of Cathartic Realism are 1.) the story was lived by the artist, and the piece is being written for the purposes of catharsis - and 2.) therefore the ending can be different. 3.) film must be completed with the survivors healing in mind.
