MAYA'S NEXT MOVE: FROM OMS TO MOXI

Our fertility journey and the making of ONE MORE SHOT profoundly changed both of our lives. Maya combined her personal experience and her professional ambitions, and created an EmPower with Moxi, an organization dedicated to education, support, and community in embryo donation. Along with her two partners, she’s also launched a matching platform - Moxi Matching - where embryo donors and recipients can connect in an open way. It’s something we wish had been available when we were building our family. Check them out.

Ten-ish Years!

It’s been about ten years since we dove into making ONE MORE SHOT. By “ten-ish” and “about ten” I mean when we decided this is going to be a full feature length documentary and I want the world to see it. And then that’s what we did. Six years since it premiered on Netflix, the film has been seen in more than 50 countries. We’ve screened it from Seattle to Sydney to … add your favorite S-City here. We’ll be reminding you about the film a bit in the coming days and checking in again with the people who helped us put this all together. So take a look, remember the old days, and give it a watch again. It’s amazing how many things changed but others feel like we were just right there, trying to start a family, hoping and wishing we knew somebody who had gone through this and could tell us what to expect. ~n

you’ve got One More shot … to watch us on netflix

When we set out to make One More Shot we thought it would essentially just be a home movie. We thought we’d have a little short about doing IVF and that would be that and our baby would know where she came from. Well, IVF didn’t work and it took another couple years and at that point we had almost two hundred hours of footage and a feature length movie. And when Netflix wanted to show our film, well, it was a dream come true. It meant the world could see our labor of love. It meant a small indie doc could be seen by strangers far away and they’d maybe, hopefully connect with what we were doing.

So after two years on the big N our Netflix lease will soon be up and we will be leaving the platform. It’s not good-bye. We’re just moving. In the coming days we will be rolling out some updated info on how to get your eyeballs on the film. In the last two+ years we’ve had amazing feedback on this project. We appreciate every viewer, every download, every tweet, every kind note, and every connection to the IF community and those new to it. Thanks so very much.

love,

Maya and Noah and the OMS team

Maya and Noah interviewed for HEALTHLINE

We recently chatted with the folks from Healthline. It was a pretty far reaching conversation. If you’ve been on this journey with us for a while then some of the talking points will sound familiar, while others will be new. We’ve found more and more people in our interviews are digging in on the financial aspect of infertility. I wonder if that’s because infertility is becoming a more public experience. What do you think? We also cover a lot of the emotional and relational impacts of our experiences, which may feel familiar or similar to your own journey. Point is: you’re not alone. And there are a lot of different ways to approach the infertility experience. So take a look. Or if you’re going through your own process feel free to send this to those people close to you who may not “get it” yet. I’ve said too much. By the grace of the Internet, you can read it yourself!

ONE MORE SHOT has been all around the world!

Hi there. It’s been almost a year since One More Shot premiered on Vimeo On Demand, iTunes, Amazon, and Vudu. That’s a lot of different ways to see a film we spent YEARS working on. If you haven’t seen the film yet, 1) why not?! and 2) you can still find the film on any of these platforms. If you’re in a country where English isn’t the primary language then Vimeo On Demand is your best bet.

It’s been so amazing to share the film literally all over the world. The film has been seen in 44 countries. We see you, Japan, Tanzania, Latvia, Israel, and Gibraltar! On October 15, we’ll be screening the film in Sydney, Australia! If you’re in the Sydney area, please check it out!

Anyway, no other big news to share here other than thank you for helping this be a truly international and worldwide movement. Thank you for the kind messages and emails from all over the planet. It means, ahem, the world to us.

We don’t have any new videos to show at the moment (stay tuned, though) so in honor of the international response to the film, here’s the video for “All Around the World” by Oasis. Nothing to do with anything but man it’s an over the top video!

Love ya,

noah
