So I think you know, I spoke a little bit about 2e and the community that I've witnessed self-organizing and becoming empowered, you know, and that how we're gonna be featuring that in the movie.
Um I think that's a huge piece of the puzzle, but it's certainly not the only one.
Um, but it's a powerful one, and so I'm delighted that we have access and that we're able to kind of showcase those stories.
But there is something that I have really connected with in recent months that has actually become a major focus in the
movie.
Um, you know, for those of people who are out there, you know, we have a you know, we have a website, you know, I have a Vimeo channel, and and folks can see like, you know, there's four videos that have been produced while we've been making the movie.
And that's a big strategy for me.
Like I like to test the waters with story.
I like to test the waters with my ideas and and put things out there so people can respond to that and see if it's working and see if it sticks and and it makes sense for people.
The third video, um, this is a video that features experts and it's called Who Gets to Be Gifted American Why?
And it really was sort of saying to the public, This is our main thesis, like this is our main our the main driving inquiry of the movie.
What do you think?
And we had an incredible response to that video.
I mean, it was so exciting to see people.
And that video featured some pretty unexpected people in it, including Andrew Solomon, who wrote Far from the Tree, Van Jones, who as we know is a you know has his own show on CNN now.
Um so I was I was asking some kind of unexpected people what they think about giftedness.
And I think that that was actually really important to kind of, you know, get the community outside of itself a little bit because, you know, the gifted community, you know, dare I be so bold, has been talking to itself about itself for more than thirty years.
And it's not serving anyone's agenda at all to be that sort of siloed from the rest of the education movements and the rest of um brain science conversations.
I mean, there's just so many ways that gifted is not sort of engaged outside of itself.
And so I see our movie as a huge piece of the advocacy puzzle um in terms of partnering with social movements to advance an education conversation that gets gifted out of its silo.
