Some films begin with an idea.
Others begin with a friendship.
For filmmaker Nancy Svendsen, the journey of creating 1IN3 has been deeply shaped by her dear friend Sarah McDonald - a writer, mother, cancer survivor, advocate, executive coach, motivational speaker and one of the film’s guiding lights.
Sarah’s honesty, resilience, humor, and openness about living through cancer helped inspire the heart of this project from the very beginning. Today, she continues to help bring the film to life not only as a participant on camera, but also as a trusted advisor, storyteller, and connector to communities who believe in caring for the whole person through a cancer diagnosis.
Coming up, our team will film Sarah and her family - capturing the real moments, relationships, and humanity that make 1IN3 so personal and universal at the same time.
This film exists because of brave conversations, trusted friendships, and people willing to share their truth.
Thank you, Sarah, for being a part of this important story.
