with Festival Co-Director, Téana David

Director and producer Gay Dillingham invites us into her years-long process of creating a film that chronicles the dynamic friendship between two distinct cultural icons.

MAKE AN IMPACT

Buy Merch, Plant Two Trees!

Be part of our 2022 philanthropy mission: to plant one million trees.

Help support our Festival partner TreeSisters — and look good doing so — with official Shift Your World Film Festival merch!

This collector-quality apparel collection brings together fashion and impact through innovative, eco-friendly textiles — each piece is made from post-consumer recycled fibers, including recycled cotton, polyester, and plastic bottles.

Best of all, for each item you purchase, you’ll be planting two trees.

We’ve committed to donating $1 for each item sold to TreeSisters, a UK charity that focuses on tropical reforestation efforts and women’s empowerment.

Our goal is to help plant one million trees this year — and we’ve already planted over 250,000 through our efforts.

Will you help us reach our “one million trees” goal?

We once had six trillion trees on our planet. We’re down to three trillion. Building a global movement to plant more trees gives us more time to avert the worst of climate change.

TreeSisters isn’t just planting trees (though they’ve already planted well over 20 million on three continents!) — they’re also empowering communities to make much bigger, critically needed systemic changes from the grassroots up.

Shortly after, he and husband Dean Hamer began their now decade-long collaboration with Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu, first documenting her story in the PBS Independent Lens Audience Award-winner Kumu Hina, then with Hina joining as producer on a series of films about gender diversity in the Pacific, including Leitis in Waiting, Lady Eva, and The Rogers.
