The Boulder Crest Foundation tasked us to create a brand film to kick off their CHOOSE GROWTH campaign. We had four weeks to write, direct, produce and deliver a powerful film that will inspire people globally. The mission was to change the stigma and the limitations of trauma. Most people see trauma as insurmountable; a full stop in the story of our lives. But what if it can be a catalyst for forging a new path — one filled with passion, purpose, connection, growth, and service? This is Posttraumatic Growth (PTG). For far too long we have focused exclusively on the negative impacts of trauma and struggle. The result: we are left feeling permanently diminished and damaged; a victim to the worst experiences of our life. That must change. Visit ChooseGrowth.org
