Keunt’a Swanson: Using Storytelling to Bring People Together

Keunt'a S.
January 28, 2026Stories By Us

I study film because I believe storytelling connects us as human beings. Through my work, I want to create stories that help people see themselves in others and understand the world with more empathy. What inspires me is the way a single film can spark conversation and build connection. Contributing allows me to grow as an artist and use my voice to bring people together.
