Mission Statement
The Now Hear This team advocates for conscious casting and equal representation. We specifically sought out actors and crew of all ethnicities and gender expressions regardless of their age, race, class, gender, sexuality, religion, or ability. Cast, crew, and production is predominantly female.About The Project
"Now Hear This" is about a small time digital news company contending with the incoming Trump Administration. "Oh no!", you may be thinking, "I don't dabble in 'Political Films'". Well, if you've ever watched The Lion King, you do.
Comedy's made a comeback. (Who actually remembers laughing during the Obama Presidency?) It is born out of suffering, it seems. In this time and place, relentless alerts, breaking stories, tweet storms; humor seems to be the only levity. Humor and meditation. Okay, humor, meditation, and a 1.5L bottle of wine.
'Now Hear This', I wrote, with a little of all three. Drinking while meditating, and most always, the need for laughter. It's been a master class in turning anger into motivation, sadness into joy, frustration into breakthroughs. And for the journalists! I always associated journalism with Democracy. And like all good things Democratic, it needs to be protected. So I thought, let's combine the two?
Journalism (the total urgency for it), and laughter.
