Spirited was selected for Big Sky Pitch in February and it'll be the first time Director/Producer, Joua LG, and Producer, Nicole Tsien, get to pitch the film publicly to a jury of industry funders and commissioning editors and an auditorium of the public. Big Sky is a competitive documentary film festival and pitch forum in Missoula, Montana. See you soon Missoula!

TODAY is GIVE TO THE MAX DAY!
Your donation will support the development of an educational shaman curriculum and kit that will be instrumental in the film guide and discussions of Joua Lee Grande's featured documentary, Spirited, once completed. Donations will also help the Spirited Impact Campaign facilitate free public film screening of Spirited and community discussions across the states.
The first 25 folks who donate $25+ today will receive a physical copy of the current draft of our developing film curriculum and kit and have an opportunity to provide feedback on the materials.
Thank you for your continued support in our impact campaign!
Happy Give to the Max Day!

Join us for the SPIRITED Impact Education event. The event will contain a sample clip from 'Spirited', a panel discussion with our panelist speakers, and a spotlighting storytelling artist.
'Spirited' is a feature-length documentary following the filmmaker as she navigates the calling to become a shaman. It follows other Hmong shamans and community members as they try to figure out what it means to be Hmong in this generation in America. The film is currently in production.
Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to the date!
