Director Statement

This short was an effort to point out how cyberbullying can affect not only young people but adults too. Pastor Tommy Householder from The Hypocrites is the object of criticisms and judgement from anonymous commentators on a social media message board. He and his wife attempt to handle 'the cowards' in their own way. It addresses the fact people are often braver and meaner as long as no one knows who they are. Cowards.
