Dear fellow Zebras,
Thank you so much for those who registered and had an opportunity to watch
There is information below about the second screening.
We have received numerous e-mails, messages, and comments from people sharing their thoughts about the film with us, and many of them brought us to tears.
We are happy some of you felt that this film is what our community needs. And we are very thankful for your support!
To be honest, Karina says she “deals with a lot of anxiety related to the film and how it would be received by the community she made it for. For the past 15 months, she has put everything she had into this film, and as a fellow zebra, ’We Are Visible’ is so much more than just a documentary film to her. It’s the most important project she has ever took on. And she feels honored to share it with our community.”
This film is a non-profit project for her, meaning she tries to support Ehlers-Danlos organizations with it. “Only because of John and EDS Awareness team, has this screening been possible. John went above and beyond for all of us. He did a dozen tests, so you could see the film in the best possible quality online. If you feel like you can support his organization, so he can keep doing those great things, you can donate
here”:
Now, some of you have asked about Karina”s distribution plan. Besides the online screening with John, we have set up a second screening option with The Mighty, which will be next Saturday 10/27 noon.

The next months, ’We Are Visible’ will try to get into film festivals. In parallel, smaller community screenings around the globe will be organized (if you have a support group and want to screen the film, contact Karina via www.karina-sturm.com). After the festival season and when the screening period is over, the film will also be available
on video-on-demand (not sure at this point which platform) for a small fee benefiting an EDS organization.
But good things take time. Please have patience with her. She is severely affected by EDS and this film has pretty much worn her out.
If you want to help, this is what you can do:
Spread the word about the film. Share a trailer, tell a friend, family member, doctor, or even a journalist about it.
If you have any contacts to Universities or doctors that are interested in showing this film for educational purposes, forward them Karina's website and e-mail. We would love to educate some medical professionals about EDS with this film.
If you have a blog. We would love for you to review it there and send her a link
I appreciate any additional ideas how to get the film out there. Let us know.
Thanks for your support and your kind words.
Warm regards,
