While Exec Producing a project that I just wrapped (but that Ill be able to tell you more about when its up and running in 2015-16), I got to hang out with my buddy Nate Parker one evening during which he shared a rough cut - from his smart phone - of a passion project that is now out! - youtu.be/5HtCfm7SKbU - #AmeriCAN is a short film and public service announcement that comes in response to events that have divided the country over racial lines. With the influx of violence against black males in America over the past few years, the piece strives to offer a unique perspective in examining the value of lives of the country’s citizens. The intention of the message, “all lives matter,” is to pull people together from both sides of the disparity and inspire the kind of empathy and mutual understanding necessary to promote meaningful discourse and domestic reconciliation. The goal is to bring all people together, without exception to race, religion, gender or age, and send the message that all blood flows red. #AllLivesMatter Nate Parker – Director/Writer. James Lopez – Producer/Story By. Kay Madsen – Director of Photography. Valerie Bleth Sharp – Producer. Mo McRae – Producer/Actor. Hernany Perla – Producer.
