Hi everyone, I’m a documentary filmmaker. I’m wrapping up post-production on a remarkable story of resilience, and my co-producer and I are looking for opportunities to use it for good (education, awareness, training, etc.). We hope this community can help us brainstorm some ideas .
Fashioning Charel follows Charel (my co-producer), a single mother of two striving to break the cycle of her family losing children to foster care, as she follows a dream of becoming a fashion designer. Woven into this current-day drama is also the story of her past, which includes a childhood saturated with complex trauma and toxic stress, and thankfully also people and cultural influences that helped her to be resilient.

We're very grateful for any ideas and feedback to help us take this forward. Thank you!
(P.S. some of you may recall I posted a much earlier version a little over 3 years ago. It's been a journey!)
