November’s “Scopesgiving” edition of Scope Screenings at LANGSTON in Seattle's Central District was flowing with the weight of gratitude for artistic excellence, creative community, and inspiration through darkness. Converge Media premiered the trailer for the upcoming documentary “Diamond of Opportunity,” following the immense impact of the Mariners Care Foundation and its programs that have literally transformed the lives of youth around the country.
The opening night of Scope Screenings Season 4 earlier this year brought together independent filmmakers in Seattle and celebrated Converge host Trae Holiday’s Emmy win in June 2025. Trae’s iconic show intro for “The Day With Trae” landed her the Emmy win, and her Seattle community pulled up to Scope Screenings to watch the sensational intro on the big screen at the SIFF Cinema Egyptian in Capitol Hill, alongside other local filmmakers making the Emerald City’s creative world tick.
At SIFF Cinema Egyptian in August 2025, Deaunte Damper screened a story on the monumental grand opening of the new Rainier Beach High School campus. Produced by Converge Media, the story represented the decades of unwavering advocacy and collective vision coming to life in the name of uplifting youth in Rainier Beach.
The opening night of Scope Screenings Season 3 in 2024 featured Converge Media’s Emmy-nominated documentary “Nooksack 306” at the Egyptian Theatre, alongside other independent voices in Seattle film.
July 2025’s edition of Scope Screenings in Ballard featured Besa Gordon and Darryl Foto’s collaboration “Black Joy.” This project brought together Gordon’s beautiful narration and a moving poem by Foto, celebrating and exploring the essence of Black joy across the Pacific Northwest.
October’s Scope Screening brought together compelling independent storytelling in Seattle at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute. The monthly film festival, helmed by founder Lex Scope, provided a crucial big-screen platform for local artists and underrepresented voices.
The 4th season of Scope Screenings kicked off last month with an electric atmosphere at the SIFF Cinema Uptown in Seattle.. Lex Scope, the creator and cultivator of Scope Screenings, highlighted the significant growth this season, noting a record attendance with lines extending around the venue.
