Trivia
On a cold Thanksgiving night in 2018, Stefano Da Fre was visiting family in Colorado. That evening, he saw a "Now This" Facebook posting that had reached 23 million views. The person in the video was Jeremy Ornstein, who was being arrested outside Nancy Pelosi's office. Four months later, Directors Stefano Da Fre & Laura Pellegrini met Jeremy for coffee & a conversation about Youth Activism. That conversation became the 'main working framework' for the Documentary Film "The Day I Had To Grow Up".

I saw this film when it premiered at the Chelsea Film Festival

I saw this film when it premiered at the Chelsea Film Festival, as a father it made me weep. I thought about my own son, about Jeremy's age, growing up fighting for a better world. I was very impressed by the pacing of the film. This could have definitely been a feature, if not being developed already
