This story is inspired by films like Manchester by the Sea and East of Maretown. There's a quietness we're after, a slowed down approach to the performance that feels steeped in naturalism. Make the script your own. The words are just a starting point.


This PSA campaign urges people to step away from their screens and engage in real-life conversations about important issues in a clear and action-oriented way. It leads by promoting offline interactions, opening the door for us to encourage the value of personal connection and the impact of seeing someone’s facial expressions and body language in understanding their perspectives. While this initiative simply asks people to put down their phones and talk face-to-face about difficult subjects, it has a wide range of potential for creative expression, expansion, and range of media.

We call this campaign Get Offline And Talk. This campaign is being created for Action Canada. Action Canada is Planned Parenthood Canada. They are a Voice for Sexual Health and Rights in Canada. This campaign in particular allows us to discuss topics that are dividing people right now around sexual health and rights, particularly how these discussions are affecting youth and youth in the trans and queer community.
