Thank you LAist and especially Ethan Ward for sharing with the world Sumaiyya’s amazing journey from homeless to housed. *Story in Bio Working on this documentary has been incredible, but meeting Sumaiyya and letting her shine through this PR campaign was the best part. LIVE OUT LOUD is a feature documentary about three people experiencing homelessness in Portland, Oregon who are empowered and begin to heal from childhood trauma by learning to make films in a grant-funded class by Melissa Gregory Rue. The documentary just debuted at Dances With Films and is just beginning its film festival run. #liveoutlouddocumentary #melissagregoryrue #cherculverpr #sumaiyyaevans #documentary #film #indiefilm
