SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOREVER: A DOCUMENTARY

HANS AND LUIS' EXPERIENCE IN AMERICA

Brings to light the intricate parallels between queerness and immigration and, by extension, the realities of many vulnerable groups.

 

This narrative serves as a framework for exploring the concept of the American Dream, a recurring theme in our work. Through our founders' story, we have come to realize the profound misunderstandings and prejudices surrounding immigration in their own flesh.

 

These misconceptions often stem from the unfulfilled promises of the American Dream, or more specifically, the empty promises made by the post-war corporate machine in its name.

 

CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION, produced by Chris Debiec and Jennifer Hutchins, and featuring appearances by Dan Reynolds, Gloria Estefan, Busy Phillips, Gaby Moreno, Eugenio Derbez and Maria Hinojosa.


OUR GOAL IS FOR THIS FILM TO SERVE AS AN EYE-OPENING CALL TO ACTION

About the deeply unfair way America looks at Hispanic immigrants and a demonstration, in clear terms, of the power of sharing our story. Being in Texas only makes it the more urgent.

THE STORYSHARING WORKSHOPS

OUR APPROACH TO UNLOCK THE POWER OF OUR RESEARCH

on creating BELONGING through STORYSHARING™ is to create a workshop that allows individuals to explore the concept, and using each cohort for community-based participatory research.

 

In 2024 we will run two Storysharing Workshop cohorts with a total of 3,000 participants, mainly technology workers in Austin and funded by corporate sponsorships.

 

THE WORKSHOPS' APPROACH MIRRORS THE TOP-DOWN NATURE OF STORYSHARING™

It is the one in the position of privilege is better positioned to share their narrative. Technology workers are an ideal first cohort, given their industry's position at the forefront of workplace innovation. Future cohorts will focus on different groups, as dictated by research findings and opportunities presented.

 

OUR COHORTS WILL GENERATE OVER 90,000 DATA POINTS

On which to base a formal study on Belonging, which in turn will serve as the basis for the future development of a bottom-down approach, adapting the programming to serve underprivileged communities starting in 2025.
