Registration link below.

(The Mass. Center for Native American Awareness is a co-host of this event.)

Join us on-line for a lively conversation to celebrate Upstander Project’s 15th birthday!

The amazing team at Upstander Project is calling upon co-founders Adam Mazo and Dr. Mishy Lesser to get real with you about what happens behind the scenes, both on set and off, during a live virtual conversation and Q&A session.

The discussion will be moderated by the inimitable N. Bruce Duthu of Dartmouth College, a longtime collaborator and Upstander Project board member. This event is co-hosted by the Massachusetts Center for Native American Awareness (MCNAA) and UMass Boston's Institute for New England Native American Studies (INENAS).

Topics to explore include:

• Why Dawnland almost never saw the light of day

• How we’ve held things together with zip ties and duct tape, both literally and figuratively

• How ‘dad jokes’ do (and do not) support good filmmaking

• And more misadventures inspired by your memories and questions.

Plus, take part in the live ‘How well do you know Upstander Project’ quiz featuring never before seen images!
