We're very excited to be sharing a private screening of Left Opened at HCMA. Address: 675 W Hastings Street, 4th floor (#400)
Buzz 0400 upon arrival. 
I would like to acknowledge that this screening will be hosted on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
The film is just 14 minutes long, and will be proceeded by a talk back with the creative team.
We're specifically curious about:
1. Which sections of the film stood out to you?
2. At any point, did the film feel prescriptive? 
3. If you live with anxiety, do you feel that we've shared a relevant exploration of the topic? If you had an opportunity to share an aspect of your story with teens and/or adults living with anxiety, what would you share?
For some context, I have plans to develop curriculum around discussing anxiety in schools, with this film as a conversation starter.
SCHEDULE FOR THE SCREENING:
6:30-7:00 -- Arrival
7:00-7:20 -- Screening (plus introductions)
7:20-8:00 -- Talk back
8:00-8:30 -- Connecting with other guests (we will additionally have some short feedback forms we'd love for you to fill out).
We have a limited number of tickets available. Please only RSVP if you can definitely attend.
