Correspondent Tom Wilmer visits with Guy Mossman, co-director and director of photography for the documentary SPEAK showcased at the 2025 SLO FILM Festival.
The documentary SPEAK follows five top-ranked high school oratory students as they spend a year crafting spellbinding spoken word performances with the dream of winning one of the world’s largest and most intense public speaking competitions.
The documentary deftly captures the euphoria of victory and the devastation of defeat as students craft and perform original oratories over the course of a 9-month season. Their dream is simple: To win the Super Bowl of public speaking, the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) Nationals.
