The Secret Life of Honey Bees,

About the event

It would be an absolute honour and privilege if you joined me for the screening of my new documentary, The Secret Life of Honey Bees. The documentary is a collection of brutally honest interviews with eight individuals who identify as visible minority, and whose journeys are incredibly unique. All eight individuals currently work, or are on the path to working a "real" job, but are also committed to and invested in a creative field (music, dance, photography, fashion, blogging, animation). The documentary essentially explores the age-old struggle with one's identity, and deciding between "reality" and "fantasy." The screening will be the centrepiece of the event, amongst a panel discussion, a keynote speech and other fun activities to provoke honest conversations around the unique pits and peaks of the visible minority experience.

Light refreshments and good vibes will be served.

Why should you sponsor?

I am reaching out to you because I have a new, exciting documentary called The Secret Life of Honey Bees. The Secret Life of Honey Bees is a collection of brutally honest interviews with eight individuals who identify as visible minority, and whose journeys are incredibly unique. Their journeys are unique because all eight individuals currently work, or are on the path to working a “real” job, but are also incredibly invested in a creative field. Thus, the purpose of the documentary is to explore the age-old struggle with identity and deciding between “reality” and “fantasy,” and discuss how visible minority youth (university students, recent graduates, new workers) who fall in this category, can leverage the resources around them to find a balance and craft a career that suits them exactly.

Thus, I feel that we can offer you direct engagement with a target demographic with a lot of buying potential (youth) through our various social media platforms. We are beginning to offer limited sponsorship opportunities to companies we think would be a good fit for our audience.
