Be a Reel Grrl!
Nicole Sobottke's Dedicated to My Family is an amazing personal short about one woman's struggle to stay strong and find community despite being homeless. Nicole's story is truly inspiring, and equally impressive is the fact that she wrote and directed the film as a teenager. As a participant in the Reel Grrls program in Seattle, Washington, Nicole joined other young women in making videos about their lives from their own perspectives.
