ABOUT THE EVENT

An Empowering Experience
Do The Thing is partnering with She Talks to officially launch Do The Thing Studios—a bold new storytelling initiative designed to ignite global movements. This monumental day marks the premiere and creative unveiling of their first narrative fiction film, At Liberty.
But this is more than an event.
It’s a celebration of women who have each sparked powerful movements of their own—and a powerful invitation for you to be part of a new one.
Through live storytelling, immersive conversation, and purpose-driven filmmaking, this event showcases the unstoppable momentum that’s created when people find their voice, speak their truth, and take
courageous action.
At Liberty is the debut film from Do The Thing Studios—a fictional
story inspired by real-life impact, rooted in the work of Saddles in
Service, an organization helping veterans and first responders combat suicide and rediscover purpose through equine therapy and connection.
Created using George Makrinos’ Deep Story Work system, this film is crafted to open hearts and ignite lasting change. It also marks the beginning of a larger movement—to unite organizations that help
veterans reclaim their purpose after military service.
At Liberty is just the beginning.
It’s the first in a powerful slate of impact-driven films that will
explore themes such as:
Celebrating birth mothers and reframing the narrative around the third option
Gaming for Good—highlighting how collegiate esports can develop purpose, leadership, and positive impact.
Do The Thing! Don’t Wait For opportunity, create it
