Independent film is personal. Whether rooted in identity, culture, community, or pure imagination, the stories we tell reflect who we are - and festivals play a key role in helping those stories find an audience. Following the showcase, join in this conversation with Alternating Currents alumni, filmmakers as they reflect on how their creative voice has evolved, what it means to tell stories from a place like the Midwest, and how community-based festivals can offer more than just exposure—they can offer momentum, belonging, and meaningful artistic growth.
