Community and collaboration are core to Seattle’s DNA. This is a film that celebrates the fact that you can find community, warmth and unbelievably creative people in unexpected places. Nowhere is that more true than in Seattle. Our second Seattle Story Award winner, Claire Buss, channeled her own special experiences in the city through this quirky yet playful film as her #LoveLetterToSeattle.

Claire’s commitment to fostering a largely female community on her set and her strong reliance on regular collaborators and those who inspire her made her the perfect recipient of this Award at the LA Film Festival.
