Sony Creative Software Contest- Winner, Independent Video Category [Cyberbullyiing Public Service Announcement ]

Background info from Josh Borugeois. "I wanted to try and create something that would stick out on a very low budget. I got the light bulb idea from "the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." I thought it created sort of an "all alone in someone's head feeling". I wrote the dialog thinking of some of the things teenagers would never say, or never think. I believe there are lot of messed up people online looking to prey on clueless individuals. I thought if I could create a spot that made teenagers being careful look like the cool thing to do, then maybe some would try it. Teenagers like to see a peer taking control of a situation. This generation is all about owning decisions."

Second, this project would be my directorial debut. I really enjoyed directing this project and seeing it come to life from an idea to film. the students who volunteered as talent really did an exceptional job and were very fun to direct. the project itself took approx. 20 pre-production hours, 6 production hours, and 8 post-production hours. the title I decided to use is "Words Sometimes Really Do Hurt".
