(in-person tickets include a free trip to The Museum of Ice Cream on Friday afternoon for those already in town, drink/concessions tix for Saturday’s full day of outstanding programming, and the after party at OtherWorld).

  • Make a Donation: Every contribution makes a difference! Donate via check or online through our GoFundMe

  • Gift the Film: Spread the inspiration by gifting the film to someone new for just $9.99.

  • Spread the Word: Share this letter with friends who may want to join the fight for our rights in these urgent and challenging times.

At Fog Lift Events, our mission is to provide a safe space to lift the burden of fear, obligation, and guilt off of anyone's shoulders through the arts.
