The In The Know Short Film Competition sought to eliminate the stigma of infertility and encourage couples who have struggled with infertility to share their stories and lend support for other couples hesitant in openly discussing their journey. The Competition’s call for entries was held earlier in the year asking couples to send in a short film narrating their paths to parenthood. The three most compelling films were screened during the November 5 In The Know Short Film Festival where the winner and runners-up were announced.

The live event was moderated by program judge Barbara Collura, Executive Director of RESOLVE. Other judges, including Dr. Robert Stillman, Medical Director of Shady Grove Fertility Reproductive Science Center; Dr. William Hummel, Medical Director of San Diego Fertility Center; and Melissa Ford, Author of Navigating the Land of If and the blog Stirrup Queens, provided their insights on the films.
