About this submission
This PSA serves as an introduction to gender issues. Gender issues is a social topic that really resonates within my heart. As I’ve gone through my life, I have seen and heard many of the struggles that women have faced either through direct observation or them telling me directly of their experiences. The hardships that women have to face as they go through their daily lives, simply because of their gender, is wrong. I hope that this PSA highlights some of the issues that women have to face, as well as spread a message of hope and change for the future. The screenplay for this PSA was written in one day and edited for seven days after having discussions with many different types of peers. Casting and location scouting were done over the course of seven days. Filming was done over the course of six days and editing took five days. Thank you to my phenomenal cast and crew, I couldn’t have done any of this without their help, open communication, and dedication to the message that we are trying to share. All cast and crew took safety and health precautions due to the current pandemic during filming. Thank you all for your time and I hope you all enjoy the PSA.
