Experiencing Interruptions?

SPLIT/SECOND

At Echo Glen High School, a juvenile detention facility in King County, WA, students examine the fragile moment between good and bad decisions while building community, as the voiceover traces one student’s early struggles with incarceration. Voiceover performed by a student at Shoreline College - a collaboration designed both to protect Echo students’ identities and to build an emotional bridge between youth who might otherwise never connect.

Director Statement

The SHARE Screenwriting Program was founded by Lindy Boustedt in 2018 - Screenwriting for Healing, self-Actualization, Redemption, and Empathy - to bring the transformative power of storytelling to incarcerated women and youth in Washington State. What began as a small workshop has grown into a statewide program that uses screenwriting and filmmaking as redemptive tools for those who might otherwise go unheard.

Lindy believes stories can heal, connect, and rebuild lives. Through SHARE, she helps students find their voices, process trauma, and gain creative and professional skills that prepare them for re-entry into society.

Stories are powerful. Imagine if you could harness that power to change a life.
