We were lucky enough to be supported by Oregon Metro in an initiative to help create a piece of work across multiple mediums that supported community-led, equity-focused, arts and culture-based efforts.

To that end, with the support of many generous local non-profit organizations, the amazing and truly special middle school kids, and the dedication of many talented artists and creators in the Portland community, we were able to create a series of short written stories and a feature film based on ideas from many casual conversations with the kids. Through these informal conversations, with the help of various local creatives, ideas that started off as “Wouldn’t it be cool if…” were turned into fleshed-out stories with entire worlds attached to them.

We want to give special dedication to our fiscal sponsor, BPI, and to all of the many artists, small businesses, and restaurants that helped us with our endeavors! It was important to us to source as much as we could from the community, and we are extremely grateful to

Authentic representation is the core belief driving our work, and we hope to keep doing what we can further add to that conversation! All projects and created works for this are, and will always, be free for all to enjoy.

Thank you to everyone who was a part of this project!
