Happy 2012 and a Brilliant Dr. King Day!!

We are so proud that with each of you, we have grown another year to explore love and beauty! 2011 brought so much intentional healing and creative surges - from our first Artists in Residence performance to our 5th Annual Performance - to the end stages ofOUR FILM (What? A film on Sins? Yup, that's what I'm sayin'...)

We have reached nearly 4,000 people through live performances. We LOVE live shows. And, we've consistently heard from people who can't make it to the Bay Area that they want to experience Sins. With this film, we can magnify our message that ALL people and communities are beautiful and valuable. Imagine how many more lives and communities would change if more people engaged in that simple message!

We're proud to say that in conjunction with the Aepoch Fund we've almost finished making a 41-minute film reflecting our groundbreaking performance work, weaving interviews with artists and co-founders alongside unreleased performance footage to serve as an entryway into the absurdly taboo topic of sexuality and disability.

We're in the final stages of production and we need you to premiere this film!

Brooke, talk to us about the film and the Kickstarter campaign!
