Hello again, everyone! Today we would like to share a blog post with you from one of our filmmakers, Erin Bernhardt, and her first of many great experiences she will have while on the Southern Circuit. Enjoy!
Imba Means Sing - Blog Post #1 by Erin Bernhardt.
The first two days sharing IMBA MEANS SING on the
Southern Circuit have been incredible! I am so grateful and think this is the
coolest thing the government could do to help bring important films to
communities. Thank you!
Here are a few highlights so far:
- Several close friends from various times in my life
– high school, summer camp, studying abroad in Australia, volunteering in
Uganda – came to our screening at Wingate University. It was such a treat to
see them. I’m on my way to Memphis right now where I get to spend the night
with one of my best friends from college, too. Who knew a tour away from home
could be so full of love?!?
- A college class full of future teachers at Wingate
is going to use our Imba Discussion and Impact Guide. I can’t wait to hear how
it goes!
- The awesome audience in Bonita Springs asked some
of the greatest questions last night after the screening. Their wisdom and
wonder were really inspiring to me. They also shared stories about friends they
know who are also making a difference in Africa. I love that our film helps
connect viewers to so many amazing people.
My favorite moment was when the entire audience
together realized how incredible it is that it just took ONE PERSON, Ray Barnett, to have the idea to start the African Children’s Choir and the impact
one human can make. I know it encouraged them to all live and give in their
lives to the fullest.
More soon! Can’t wait to see y’all in TN, KY, GA and
AL soon!
