CURRENT PROJECT · EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENTARY SERIES

Versions of Me

How much do you need to know about someone before you decide who they are?

Versions of Me is an ongoing short documentary series exploring identity, stigma, judgment, belonging, and the assumptions people make about one another.

Each film begins with truthful but incomplete information. Then, as more context is revealed, the audience is invited to reconsider the conclusions they formed at the beginning. The person has not changed. Instead, what the audience knows about that person has changed.

Rather than telling viewers what they should think, the series creates space for a deeper conversation about first impressions, labels, and how quickly people can be reduced to one part of their lives.

BUILT FOR CONVERSATION

Designed to be used, not just watched.

The short-film format makes individual stories easier to use in classrooms, workshops, staff development, training programs, conferences, community programs, and facilitated screenings.

In addition, Metamora Films plans to develop discussion materials that help educators and facilitators explore themes such as identity, stigma, judgment, labeling, social psychology, sociology, media literacy, and the assumptions people make about others.

COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY FESTIVAL

SUMMER 2027 (PROPOSED) PORTLAND / VANCOUVER METRO FILM · ARTS · SOCIAL IMPACT

Film, Arts & Social Impact Festival

More than a screening. A gathering of film, art, creativity, lived experience, and community-led ideas.

Metamora Films is collaborating with Connecting 4 Justice International, Open Hearts Open Minds, Better Neighbors, and other community partners in developing a proposed summer 2027 festival for the Portland–Vancouver metro area.

The vision is broader than a traditional film festival — bringing together documentary and narrative film, visual art, live performance, storytelling, workshops, and cross-sector conversation designed to challenge assumptions and create meaningful connection.

Metamora Films will contribute to the festival's film and storytelling components as part of this larger collaborative effort, while partner organizations help shape the broader creative, community, and social impact experience.

Collaborating organizations

This is a collaborative concept still taking shape. Current and potential partners include community, arts, and social impact organizations working together to help shape the festival's direction.
