“I found a way of sharing my story—our story—through film. Reel Voices taught me to see film not just as a form of art, but as a way of resistance. To say yes. We exist. Yes, we matter. Our stories matter. And they deserve to be listened to, to be seen.”

– Winter Smiley, RV Class of 2016

“Reel Voices was the most amazing experience I’ve had so far in my lifetime. Reel Voices made me realize that there is a way of putting out my voice out into the world for others to hear and that my voice is still important and it can impact many people.”

– Sienna DiMuro, RV Class of 2016
