Making The Other Foot: A Filmmaker's Journey Through the Consent Conversation

Описание: We all know someone who's been r*ped... and yet no one knows a r*pist.

This 30-minute documentary chronicles the 18-month journey of creating "The Other Foot" - a short film about consent that started with a controversial Sukihana moment and became something much bigger.

From the initial idea sparked by YK Osiris kissing Sukihana without consent at a celebrity basketball game, to casting brave actors willing to tackle traumatic material, to working with an intimacy coordinator to protect our performers. Take a look at my process as a filmmaker.

THE FILM:
Logline: "When Tyrell overhears his younger brother’s friend, “JoJo” glorifying a story about manipulating a girl into having sex with him, Tyrell takes extreme measures to ensure that JoJo learns a lesson about consent that he’ll never forget."
