And what better way to end this post than with this quote from filmmaker Dawn Porter: “There’s a real love of craft and of community there that really kind of envelops you.

We enjoyed reading the recaps, following the hashtags, and hearing from members of the team as they arrived back at HQ. No one brought back breakfast tacos…but that just means more to look forward to next year!
