“Preconceived” earned the SXSW Best of Texas Award for documenting the journey of two women in need of terminating their unplanned pregnancies. Maleeha lives in Texas, Maria in Colorado, and both are put through a slew of anti-abortion messaging and efforts at the hands of crisis pregnancy centers. Accepting the award was Kate Dumke, who co-directed the documentary with Sabrine Keane.

“I was told I wasn’t in competition, so this is a very big surprise,” Dumke jokingly said. “We’re so happy to tell a Texas story in this very important time for reproductive healthcare.” The film premiered at the ZACH Theatre on March 9.

To anyone at SXSW -- one more screening of "Preconceived" on 3/16. This doc tells the stories of two women who, while navigating unplanned pregnancies, inadvertently found themselves at facilities discouraging them from abortions. The film is a window into these enigmatic centers that some call “pregnancy resource centers” and others call “fake clinics.” Preconceived explores the complex role of deception, finances, faith, and privacy amid a shifting legal landscape.

I'm proud to have filmed a bunch in the Boston area for this documentary, though not sure what made it into the film. I'm not at SXSW, so looking forward to seeing it another time!
