SUMMER 2026: FIRST LEAPS
WITH LILA DUPREE

Sun, July 19th — 3:00pm

THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL EVENT!
GET NOTIFIED WHEN OUR RECAP GOES LIVE.

Join us for an intimate reading and conversation with performer, producer, writer, & director Lila Dupree(Women in Film, Stowe Story Labs) as she unpacks the process of writing her first feature film, Big Sur — a comedic drama based on her personal & family journey following her father’s suicide. If you've ever wanted to turn secrets, grief, and shame into a liberating screenwriting journey, this free (and freeing) pure creative gold experience is for you.

ARTIST NOTE:
“This project started with me hiding in the shadows, thinking I could never say certain things aloud. That my family harbored terrible secrets that should and would never see the light of day. Mine has been a journey of lifting off shame and generational trauma and fear. This next stage of the project is about sharing that journey with others and helping them to do the same. And move people while doing it. I've never been officially interviewed about this. But I think it's time.”
