2024 February
Tell Us Something Newsletter
Gray skies, blustery wind, unpredictable weather. In the dead of winter, a
harbinger of spring for me is always my favorite Missoula event. Well,
besides Tell Us Something, of course! The Big Sky Documentary Film Festival
is where I met many of my friends when I first moved to Missoula back in
2003 as a volunteer at BSDFF. I volunteered there for 7 solid years,
sometimes as much as 90- hours/week, and fell in love with documentary film
storytelling. I’m sure I’ll see some of you there this year, and look
forward to seeing you again in March for the spring Tell Us Something event.

Final Call for Storytellers

Have you ever danced on the precipice, heart pounding, exhilaration
battling terror? Share your "Close to the Edge'' moment! We're searching
for true, unscripted stories - the near misses, the triumphs, the tumbles
that redefined your limits. Whether it's scaling a mountain, facing down a
fear, or confronting a life-altering truth, your vulnerability could spark
connection, ignite courage, and remind us all that we're more than we
think. This isn't about perfection, it's about the raw, the real, the
uniquely you.


Dare to bare your soul and touch the hearts of others. Pitch your story now
and tell your "Close to the Edge'' story. The stage awaits.


*The pitch deadline is February 17th, 2024*.


Pitch by calling 406-203-4683. As always, our Deaf friends can pitch by
emailing info at tellussomething.org
