StoryGive
StoryGive is a movement made up of film and video creatives who desire to give of their artistry and skill to craft a story for voices rarely heard. Administered by the Nashville Filmmakers Guild, StoryGive takes place in a single weekend, two days, where teams of creatives set out to capture and produce a story for another non-profit in the Nashville community.
This year the recipient is A.W.A.K.E. Nashville, advocates for senior members of our community who have limited resources and cannot advocate for themselves—working to build bridges of opportunity for those who feel forgotten.
