The ILLUMINATE Trailblazer Award recognizes pioneers who advance media that elevates consciousness and inspires transformation. Regina K. Scully, preeminent film funder and founder of the Artemis Rising Foundation, is a visionary trailblazer in supporting stories of “fierce compassion” that transform our culture. In telling stories of the most vulnerable among us, she uplifts the healing potential of films to release trauma and shame by giving voice to truth.
