Free Talks

| 60 MINUTES

Join Level Forward’s Anthem award-winning social impact platform, More To Talk About, for a culture-shifting conversation with the Founders of 271 Films and Mexican sisters Constanza and Doménica Castro on the value of independent producers, creating sustainable pathways of opportunity for emerging voices, and the future of latine/x narratives.

More to Talk About (MTTA) is Level Forward’s Anthem award-winning multimedia social impact platform that triples as a live gathering space, a digital experience, and a podcast. MTTA uses story as a catalyst — and convenes today’s most thought-provoking culture makers addressing today’s most pressing issues innovatively — to build community and enrich audiences with creative conversations, activations, and resources ignited by iconic works on stage and screen.
