We Are Collective :

Film Festival

We Are Collective believes that film is what helped dance survive the pandemic. It has always been a passion for the founders of the Collective & when the opportunity came, we embraced it wholeheartedly. This is why we are hosting this FREE digital film festival to showcase, highlight, & expand the view of dancers making films in our communities.
If you would like to donate to We Are Collective, you can here : @NikLaMaack | Venmo 
Without further ado, here is the We Are Collective Film Festival 2021.
