According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of pregnancies are lost, on average. However, miscarriage remains an uncomfortable topic among many families and communities. In order to shed light on this emotional topic and process firsthand experiences with miscarriage, the filmmakers featured in this program don't hold back in their honest portrayals of this kind of loss. This shorts program will have a live-streamed panel discussion with the filmmakers and family-buliding advocates on March 11th at 1pm.

Drawing from his own family's experience with miscarriage, director Steve Nguyen created the film BLAST BURN to process his emotions over this abrupt and traumatizing event. Bringing together different genres, rough animated sequences, and Nguyen's frustrated thoughts during this time, the film is both a form of healing and a tribute to his son, who would have been born in 2019.
