sooooo. my OG girl @megan_park has slayed my heart over and over again since our secret life of the american teenager days with her creativity + ability to see through the masks we all wear in order to absorb the full human experience … but, she has taken that slay to a whole new level with @the_fallout_movie. @jennaortega + @maddieziegler + @nilesfitch + @lumipollack + the ENTIRE cast give this film such a moving and entrancing truth with their work …
it’s no secret to any of us the effects irresponsible gun use + violence has on our society … especially on young people trying to live their best lives in public schools.
megan has written + directed a movie that will touch your SOUL and have you thinking about it for days, months, years later.
