Hey everyone!!!
It's me, back again (as always, every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at around 6 pm est.)
And today, I will be bringing you some more information from our inspiration!
(Also as a side note, I know a lot of information on our ACTUAL production hasn't been given out, but please be patient, it'll be out soon!! Hopefully around the week after next week.)
So, in light of the events of the Parkland school shooting, there was a march held in Washington DC, and many other locations around America to raise awareness to gun violence and how loose the rules are, and how they need to be tightened up. Now you might be thinking, well that's school violence problems and it doesn't really apply here, but actually a lot of the cases of African-Americans being assaulted by police are weapon violence, they're also the most common to be attacked/ killed.
So, I'm not just saying this trying to latch it onto what we're making just because, we actually had one of our team members, Carlos, go to California and participate in one of these protests, besides the fact that he is very passionate about the people who lost their life, he thought it would be a good idea to cover it for himself, and for us, the experience and putting yourself in the mindset of thinking like someone who was abused.
It doesn't seem like much but really anything helps to give us more influence and ispiration
