Shownotes: Going For Gold - EP # 22

In this warm and witty In Bed with Phil episode of Sh!t Happy, Toni shares the origin story of the Heart of Gold International Film Festival—a dream sparked by a short film that changed her life. Together, she and Phil reveal the highs and heartbreaks of building a festival with heart: from screener groups of avocado farmers and pornographers, to miracles, wonder, and devastating loss. A raw, funny, and deeply human look at community, creativity, resilience, and why storytelling matters for wellbeing and mental health.

Topics

How a short film led to founding a festival
Why valuing filmmakers and audiences matters
The power of storytelling to shift perspective
Building community through screener groups
Joy, resilience, and lessons from loss
