Tickets are free\, but RSVPing via the sign-up form on this page is recommended due to space limitations. \n\n\n\n“These aren’t just films\, they’re conversations\,” says Dr. Dykes. “These stories reflect real issues affecting families\, children and communities every day. By supporting this showcase\, audiences are also supporting local youth\, local artists\, and a nonprofit organization committed to using the arts as a vehicle for education\, advocacy and change.” \n\n\n\nDr. Dykes is a Penn State University alumnus with a Master of Fine Arts degree and Doctorate of Education in Leadership and Administration from Point Park University. She established Dee Annette in 2017 and has since made sure that the youths they serve are are involved in every step of the creative process. Some act alongside her and other adults\, while others remain behind the camera. \n\n\n\n“Regardless of their role\, they are active participants in bringing these stories to life and finding their own voices through the arts\,” says she says. \n\n\n\nThe four shorts screening during this showcase explore difficult subject matter and contain messages designed to educate\, inspire and encourage healing. They are: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n• Shadowed Lies (14min): An unfaithful husband’s plan to eliminate his family takes an unexpected turn. Dr. Dykes says this film was designed to remind young people who “struggle to identify safe and trustworthy relationships” that “there are also people who genuinely care and want to help.” \n\n\n\n• Tinsel and Terror (8min): A mother is attacked by her boyfriend\, forcing her children into a desperate race against time to save her. This film “addresses domestic violence and the impact it has on children\,” says Dr. Dykes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n• Echoes of Maybe (TBD): Dovie’s single day of celebration unravels into emotional chaos\, forcing her to confront betrayal\, grief and fractured relationships. “The film encourages viewers to cherish their relationships and not take time for granted\,” says Dr. Dykes. \n\n\n\n• HIM (2min): A young girl is confined to a room where unimaginable trauma occurs—until one day\, an unexpected guest changes everything. HIM was created during the Me Too movement “to give young girls a voice\,” says Dr. Dykes. \n\n\n \n\n \n \n Emerging Filmmakers Showcase with Dee Annette Domination Theater Co.

Productions presents: Diversity in Film Vol. 2 DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay’s next Emerging Filmmakers Showcase features 10 locally made shorts and a panel of film industry professionals discussing the importance of telling stories from many different perspectives. \n\n\n\nPittsburgh-based 3.B.T. Productions is returning to The Lindsay for its second Diversity in Film talk and screening. 3.B.T was founded by local filmmakers Xayne Allen\, Delaney Hathaway and Charlie Grey in 2021. Their first Diversity in Film event took place at The Lindsay in April 2025. \n\n\n\nDiversity in Film Vol. 2 is set for Thursday\, July 23\, at 7 p.m. The evening will kick off with the panel discussion in The Lindsay’s Community Room and move to our Large Screening Room for the shorts showcase. Tickets are free\, and we recommending RSVPing in advance via the sign-up form on this page due to space limitations. \n\n\n\n“The first Diversity in Film event proved that there’s a real hunger for stories and conversations that reflect the full spectrum of our communities\,” says Allen. “This year\, we’re taking everything that worked and making it even bigger. Diversity in Film Vol. 2 is designed to create meaningful conversations alongside unforgettable screenings.” \n\n\n\nThis year’s panelists are: \n\n\n\n• Adam Snook\, founder of 7to8 Production & Distribution. Snook works closely with this region’s independent film ecosystem.

Her work on the 2026 Pittsburgh 48 Hour Film Project short The Ballad of the Bard earned a Best Make Up and Hair award and contributed to her team’s Best Film victory. \n\n\n\nAllen is confident that their conversation\, plus this opportunity to watch 10 fantastic shorts on the big screen\, will bolster 3.B.T.’s ongoing efforts toward “building a stronger creative community in Pittsburgh.” \n\n\n\n“We don’t want diversity to be a once-a-year conversation\,” he says. “We want it to be woven into the fabric of our local film community.” \n\n\n\n \n \n 3BT presents Diversity in Film Volume 2 Reservation Sign up\n \n \n EmailThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Number of Tickets(Required)Phone Number(Required)Email(Required)\n \n Any Special Accommodations (Seating Accessibility\, etc.)?
