This year, Reel Ideas presents From the Ground Up, inviting you to join us in learning from our origins, creative journeys, and the path to forging our unique trajectories. The journey of building a career, honing a practice, and finding your voice all starts with a simple desire to create. Reel Ideas unites industry professionals, including screenwriters, producers, filmmakers, and performers, to engage in candid discussions about the challenges and successes of starting from scratch, all while drawing inspiration from our roots. Together, we’ll work to pave new pathways for today’s storytellers and advocates, celebrating their contributions and giving them their well-deserved recognition.
