In 2022, we set out to change social norms in the City of New Bedford, for the 101,000 residents to embrace creative expression, arts, and culture as a recognized, valued, and expected part of everyday life.

We attended more than 50 concerts, events, exhibitions, and public art projects celebrating the rich culture of one of the most racially and ethnically diverse cities on the South Coast of Massachusetts.

We interviewed local artists, educators, poets, journalists, authors, vocalists, and others, who shared their love for the City of New Bedford, with the belief that when we share creative experiences and express our creativity, we build powerful connections with the people we’re closest to, with our community and the world around us, and with ourselves.

In 2023, we submitted the film to over 30 film festivals and gained 15 Official Selections & 4 Best Documentary Awards, 3 of which were International Awards. It has been an incredible journey and I'm happy to finally share this film with all of you!
