NEW INTERVIEW / FILM DISCUSSION - LINK IN BIO! What Happens When One Woman Takes on the NRA? Ladies and gentlemen, in the 18 months it took to complete the film LADYBUG, approximately 3,376 children and teens were killed by firearms. Guns are the leading cause of death in children in the United States. The powerful and compelling short film LADYBUG is about the anniversary of her daughter's murder, Ronnie is commemorating the day with vengeful act aimed at NRA headquarters. From her suburban Indiana home to Fairfax, Virginia, she brings us along on her quest for vengeance. Will this be Ronnie's last day on earth or the dawn of a surprising new chapter in her life? Legislation from the local, state and federal level is not moving the needle or should I say not taking the bullet out of the chamber to reduce gun deaths. The people who live in the United States have more guns than the it’s own military. I’ve been in gun shops who have converted or built custom fully automatic weapons. The public has no right to own a fully automatic weapon. Why does the public have access to a long range sniper rifle, the same ones military snipers use to take out a target from a mile away? We can thank Hollywood for glamorizing gun violence, where guns are used as product placement. Nobody is gong to give John Wick a water gun or a Nerf gun to fight off the bad guys. It’s a complete Catch-22. Using violence never stops violence and the short film LADYBUG, said it right, JUSTICE IS A MOTHER. #film #filmmaking #filmmaker #shortfilm #shortfilms #guns #gunrights #nra #parentsrights #parents #grief #revenge #justice #gunreform #cinema #cinematography #bondoncinema #actor #actress #storytelling #screenwriter #filmproducer
