Testimonials

Hear what our incredible audience have to say!

"Project Blackbird is a shining light on how to destigmatize and change the narrative in mental health. Conversation through fi lm is a powerful medium to help people understand, relate and engage in sometimes hard, but very important conversations."

"PROJECT BLACKBIRD is a vital organization in the entertainment industry that boldly uses fi lm as a tool to build community and shed the shame accompanying mental health struggles. Julianne Moore said "the audience doesn't come to see you, they come to see themselves."

"Bringing Project Blackbird to GW began a really important conversation on campus around eating disorders and mental health. There can be so much stigma around these topics; inviting Project Blackbird allowed us to gauge the comfort level of our students and understand where they are coming from."

It was wonderful! Engaging, honest, educational. Students were able to see dynamic, successful women be vulnerable and open about their own struggles. I think the students got a lot out of it.
