Loyalty

When I sat down and wrote Loyalty I knew I wanted to tackle an issue everyone could relate to. Filmmaking is my passion but my day to day job is in Education. Throughout my time spent with lower school and middle school, a common phrase was being thrown around by the kids. That phrase is "STOP SNITCHING" or "SNITCHES GET STITCHES." That's when the idea hit me. So I took that and commingled it with another issue amongst teens and pre-teens, bullying. While exploring this, I wanted to show the benefits and drawbacks to the phrase. In the film the main character, has to make a big decision to do what's right or keep the secret and lose his future. In most cases in real life the person or people you are trying to protect wind up not keeping that same level of loyalty. A lesson the main character's sister is trying to get him to understand. My hopes are that this film sparks a dialogue amongst schools, in homes between parents and children and even in the workplace.
