Filming with Hillary Duff for Anti-Bullying PSA

Filming PSAs really opens the door to a lot of opportunities. It shows that you are
a socially conscientious company that puts a foot forward to make a positive change in the world
and you're wiling to put your money where your mouth is.

When we decided to self-produce "The Eulogy of Ivy O'Conner" there was no-holds-barred.
We would do all it took to bring this anti-bullying message a high-end visual look that would
go the distance. We hired a casting director and made sure to attach a name actor that would
widen the spotlight on the issue. We were so fortunate to connect with Joey King (White House Down,
Oz the Great and Powerful, Dark Knight
) and the #1 anti-bullying organization in the US - Stompoutbullying.org.

I had the pleasure of working with Ross Ellis, the founder of this wonderful charity and the
conversation lead to a full-on national campaign to promote October 7th, the Blue Shirt Day.
A day where everyone around the globe is encouraged to wear a blue T-shirt to bring
awareness to STOMP Out Bullying!
