Join us for the premiere of Thy Neighbor at the Sonoma Sebastiani Theatre: Thurs, Oct 15 at 7 pm. Filmmaker Q&A

Thy Neighbor was accepted into the United Nations Association Film Festival (UNAFF). This year's theme is Passion for Change; very fitting for this film. The festival will be held from October 15 - 25 in Palo Alto, CA. Screening Details TBA.
We have recently completed Thy Neighbor, a feature length documentary film exploring the question, "what is our responsibility, as individuals and as a society, to care for the vulnerable among us," as it follows one of the largest homeless encampments in Northern, CA, and the community's response to it.
Thy Neighbor (formerly titled Beyond the Shadows) was an official selection of the EuroDoc International Lab for Creative Documentary Production, and was selected into the United Nations Association Film Festival, 2026.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help expand the reach of Thy Neighbor.
Our silent auction & afternoon tea benefit for The Way to Hawassa was a huge success, and a beautiful event.
