STOP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Hello 10Club peeps.

I'm an actor and huge PJ fan. Just wanted to share with you a short (powerful) film I recently did last January entitled BASTA(rd). The word 'basta' in Italian is the imperative form of the word "stop" or "enough" particularly when used as an interjection. The "(rd)" on the end is just an obvious pun. It's currently being screened in Italy.

Thanks,
Michael Sharpe

    my objective comments:

    * the woman with the gun was a distraction to me
    * the cinematography and music worked well
    * the opening sequence that has the camera move from the girl to the confrontation was the most effective part of the film ... the rest seemed to play out without adding more substance ...

    i think if we are to stop domestic violence we need to tackle the issues that are at the crux of it ... respect ... for oneself and for others ...

    This was very powerful. Very well done.

    I like the woman with the gun...she has the ability to stop the abuse, but with more violence...what to do..act or not act?

    Yes, I agree with Polaris_x, we can can stop the cycle by teaching how to respect ourselves and others.
    Lots of love, light and hugs to you all!
