I believe the medium of film is one of the most powerful tools in the modern era to create positive social change. It has the ability to put big, complex, and controversial subjects across in an easy-to-understand and digestible form.

How do you create a film that can reach millions of people and engage them in the subject? You have to take risks and try something new.
