Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 308: Joyfully Parenting & Experiencing Gifted and 2e Children, with Marc Smolowitz · 25 Oct 2022 podcast

The more interesting conversation is to say, well, how can we have gifted programs that are more inclusive?

So what we have done the last four years beautifully, I'm very proud of, is we're not just making a movie.

We have what I call an impact enterprise around that movie.

So when I met you four years ago, we were really in production on the film.

We had really begun significant shooting, but we were also developing an

Early stage, this impact enterprise.

And so what that looks like now is all kinds of programs and initiatives that have been in service of the communities that we're involved with around Gifted.

So we have been doing webinars, we have our GTN Awareness Week, which we did last year in October as our first installment.

We're doing our second installment this October.

And there is interest in how we are doing this kind of impact work.

This engagement work.

Last year we had over 2,100 people register from 16 countries to join us virtually for five days of free programming about giftedness.

And people can kind of go back and look at those webinars and sort of understand sort of the vision and the values of the G Word documentary and the enterprise around it.

I think those are beautiful webinars that sort of give you almost an introduction to all the diverse.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion issues that are in play in the G Word documentary and the climate in which that art documentary has been made.

So the movie has been an intentionally curated journey where I realized that if I was going to make something that was relevant and powerful for the mainstream, that it had to be representative, right?

So there had to be urban, suburban, and rural stories, that I had to find those.

stories and actually go there, build relationships, and get people to trust me to want to tell their stories, right?

So that's kind of what we were deeply involved in in 2018 and 2019.

And by the end of 2019, just on the heels of the start of the pandemic, we had pretty much finished what I call, you know, principal cinematography, or the movie had been shot, right?
