Lisa Elliott’s super power is helping you take take the power back from films you love, but that don’t love you back. “By teaching…the art of…appreciating film…people [learn] how film has shaped them and how culture has shaped them, and then that gives the power back to them. It helps them heal from the traumas of loving something that doesn’t represent you or doesn’t show what you feel your lived experience is as a woman or as a lesbain or someone who’s gay or somebody who lives on the border or somebody who is Hispanic. Like all of these things that could be part of your identity that film doesn’t represent [well] and you can take that back.
