a NOTE from the DIRECTOR
Hey guys! Quick note…
While our fun little short film certainly aims to (first and foremost) entertain, it’s also a pop/contemporary musical with an alternative purpose to push the envelope of conversation around the full-grown issue of toxicity in society right now (online or otherwise).
As you watch the film, my co-creators and I really wanted the audience to have a lot of fun (after all, it is a fast-paced, fanboy-culture MUSICAL)… but at the very same time, we wanted our narrative to subtly shine a small (but important) light on this growing issue at hand. It compromises our ability to connect and add value to each other, and intensifies the “otherness” of others — an even bigger issue that’s already in worryingly-high supply in our world today.
PUSH THE POINT is a subtle “call to action” to (pretty please) be more cognizant of the tonality you put out into the world as you interact with others — both online and IRL — while, at the same time, smack ya with the moral message in a way that feels more fun.. and refreshing.. (like an Andes mint… or a morning menthol face wash?) than a moral commandment from on high.
Hopefully, it hits in a more musically-entertaining, fast-paced, fun-sized way.
Hope you enjoy the next 7 minutes…
