SUBMIT is a full-length documentary film, social video platform and original content library that provides deep visibility into and open conversations around cyberbullying. Beyond the film, the Share Your Story part of SUBMIT is our call to action to youth to step off the sidelines by supporting the various programs, curricula and advocacy groups that are addressing the issue. We ask victims, bullies, bystanders and groups to share video stories, which provide valuable resources to support awareness, recovery and a change in behavior.Click here to view the teaser in your BrowserCopyright 2011.

The difference todayis that the cruelty can be virally pushed to thousands in seconds so that a minordisagreement can quickly become mob rule in the eyes of the victim.This new reality requires open, honest discussion and new, inclusive approaches fora modern world, but we first must go beyond the headlines and learn the truth.We have discovered that the problem is not only the bad behavior of kids, butthe lack of respect & empathy amongst them that leads to it. In addition, thelack of coordination and understanding amongst the adults about how to discussthe issue with kids and the tendency of the media to focus only on the worstoutcomes at the expense of much broader issues leads to a lack of overallknowledge and more suffering. SUBMIT seeks to address this.What is the Goal?With SUBMIT, we focus on understanding the problem, then reframing thediscussion and approach through the viewpoints of kids, parents, technologistsand educators and, finally, showing the solutions that are in place across local,national & international efforts. To leverage all of the interviews and events wecaptured for the film, we are developing a content library of footage from kids,parents, teachers, policy-makers, law enforcement and technology experts that weare making available for use by educators, non-profits, policy & law professionalsand for-profit businesses as they see fit.WHO IS INVOLVED?We bring you to the top technology, legal, psychology and policy experts toexplore exactly what is happening and what to do. We bring you to the parentswho may see falling grades, depression or be forced to live without kids lost tosuicide. We let young students tell us in their own words how they deal withtheir connected world and what the adults can do to help. You can see a list ofsome of the people who have helped us both in front of the camera and behindthe scenes with their time and expertise:http://www.submitthedocumentary.com/about-the-film/experts/Click here to view Behind the Scene footage in your browser Copyright 2011.

We will also launch an upgraded social video platform in June.We have digital, interactive television and institutional outlets in place and are inearly discussions for broader television, festival and other theatrical appearances.We expect the first version of the content library to be ready in late June or earlyJuly to allow us to begin working directly with advocacy groups and others whowould like to include new video content in their existing programs, projectsand curriculum.You can see a short teaser of Act 1 on Page 3 based on early interviews where westate part of the problem. We will soon update that teaser with more completetrailers that includes our Acts 2 and 3 will show how the problem should beaddressed from the minds of kids, parents, technologists, policy-makers, educatorsand other experts followed by some of the solutions that are in place and coming. This issue grabbed my attention both as a professional and a parent and I could not walk away from the helping kids online and on mobile devices. We are contributing time and technology to make a difference and protect our kids. Les Ottolenghi, CEO of Fuzebox and documentary sponsor Time is of the essence. When you watch and hear the heart wrenching stories, you will know that stepping in as parents and teachers, and standing up as leaders is imperative to making a difference in the lives of our kids.
