When it seems like there is only bad news and worse news, it’s good to find something we can all cheer about. If you were at this year’s festival, you will remember our youngest filmmaker, Gerry Orz, whose film “Day of Silence” won our Audience Choice Award. If you did not attend this year’s festival, you missed an opportunity to meet this caring, passionate, and engaged young man (11 years old!) who turned his movie camera on as a way to turn bullying off. This week, Gerry was quite busy meeting with the Los Angeles School Board about coordinating a “Day of Silence” against bullying event, but he took time out to pick up his newest film festival award, the “Making a Difference in the World” award at the Universe Multicultural Film Festival, which Gerry earned for his newest film, “Born to Bully.”
Gerry’s films are available on YouTube; do yourself a favor and take a few minutes to watch “Day of Silence, Episode 1,” “Day of Silence, Episode 2,” or “Born to Bully.” After a week of so much bad news, Gerry’s films will give you a warm and hopeful start to the weekend! You can also see his Lindsey Fest Q&A on YouTube.
Congratulations Gerry! And keep fighting the good fight!
