Kindness - ID# 178

Neuqua Valley
Public Service Announcement

Entry Description

I created this video to bring awareness to the fact that everyone has a story. You never know who you're sitting next to, or the stories and emotions they hold and feel. Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness because you never know what someone else is going through. That is the reason why I created this PSA, to share a few of the hardships and stories of the strangers we pass by every day.

  • 2/26 1:39 pm - Okay - cool concept. Honestly, the set up was great. The first 28 seconds was solid. BUT...when you had the strangers read the messages, it would have been SO much more impactful if you showed strangers reading the messages. Why? Because then you see the expressions and human reactions of people reading these messages, and THEIR reactions to the hurt of strangers who they don't know is what makes US, the audience, more compassionate and sympathetic. The b-roll of life while listening to people's pain just wasn't the right fit.
