Episode description

Maggie Budzyna's community engagement began at age 11, when she started a nonprofit organization to bring performance opportunities to underserved communities. As Maggie (@maggiebudzyna) puts it, 'I feel like it's my responsibility to use my privilege to help other people and lift up other peoples' voices... I make films because that's my contribution to the world, and my way of bringing to light stories that are important to represent. And we all need to do that in our own lives.' We Are the Mass Shooting Generation, which explores the epidemic of gun violence in the United States, is one of those films, and the reason we were able to sit down with Maggie and talk about being an emerging filmmaker!

In Episode 3 of the Justice in Motion podcast, Maggie and Daniel talk about the highs and lows of her already storied career as a filmmaker, the challenges of filmmaking while in quarantine, and her message for today's emerging filmmakers.

We Are the Mass Shooting Generation won the Youth Visions Prize at the 2018 Social Justice Film Festival.
