The INELDA team hosted a member “Movie Night” in April, featuring the film PROGNOSIS: notes on living.
Join us for an evening with award-winning filmmaker and PROGNOSIS co-director and producer Kate Stilley Steiner and producer Nancy Otto, the widow of co-director Debra “Chas” Chasnoff, featured in this documentary. The conversation will feature a Q&A session and clips from the film.
With the help of her wife, Nancy, and their LGBTQIA2S+ family, Chas traces a journey through the twists and turns of living with cancer. What emerges is a raw, intimate portrait of shifting relationships and identities—a story about holding onto people we love as we prepare to let them go.
Academy Award winner Debra Chasnoff’s final film, #PrognosisMovie is a collaborative filmmaking effort by GroundSpark and Citizen Film from producers Nancy Otto, Carrie Lozano, Lidia Szajko, and Joan Lefkowitz, and co-director and producer Kate Stilley Steiner, with foundation support from the Koret Foundation and Fleishhacker Foundation.
Nancy Otto is Debra Chasnoff’s widow and is featured in PROGNOSIS. She consulted on the final stages of Chasnoff’s films and on the administration of her company Groundspark. Nancy is also a senior consultant at Klein & Roth Consulting, working exclusively with nonprofit organizations to build and strengthen their individual donor programs. Nancy was the video editor for WTVD News, an ABC affiliate, in Durham, North Carolina when it was the 35th largest media market in the country.Want to attend?
