Don't miss "Under a Million Stars," directed by client Chezik Tsunoda at SIFF this weekend!

Set in Seattle, "Under A Million Stars" follows two people navigating homelessness and housing instability as they confront daily survival, broken systems, and fragile hope. Through intimate storytelling and community voices, the film challenges the narrative that homelessness is a personal failure, revealing instead the structural forces that push people to the margins.

Premieres this Saturday, May 9 at 6:15PM, and screens again on May 10 at 12:30PM. Get tickets at siff.net!
