This Summer my new film Before I Let Go is going on tour and i’m bringing the homies with me!

The Before I Let Go Summer Tour is a series of free screenings at several community and artist-run spaces across the Midwest and East coast. Each screening is free and features two filmmakers from or making work in each specific venue. A short Q&A session will be held at the end of each program.

This film is so special to me, and I deeply believe in everything that me and my loved ones poured into it. Having it be a part of an exhibition at MoMA PS1, for the Studio Museum no less was and remains a dream come true, however it’s always been important for me that the people that are in and inspired the work are able to see it on their own terms, in spaces that affirm them.

This tour was pulled together with the desire to honor the people, places and community care that shaped the work, and bring it directly to them. I believe that art should not only be free and accessible to all, but to quote Fernando Solanas, a fire around which the communities I cherish can gather around.

Each stop on the tour is self funded. If you would like to support the programmers of the tour you can do so here. Your donation will go towards travel, guest filmmaker stipends, and each hosting venue.  

About Before I Let Go

Created during his residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 2022, Before I Let Go is the latest film from artist Cameron Granger. Set in the fictional town of Bad City, five years after a giant monster attack leveled the city's east side neighborhood, the film follows a documentary filmmaker's experience covering the community's recovery efforts.
