Philadelphia, PA / June 21, 2022 – What happens in the dark always comes to light! That is the theme of our short film, Dismissal Time: a film about an innocent black student victimized by vicious high school bullies and an administration that wants to sweep it under the rug. From the award-winning writer and director, André Joseph comes this real-life inspired story that deals with the themes of bullying, racism, and social injustice. Our hero is a teacher, Sharon Vance who makes it her mission to bring those responsible to task.

The upcoming short film recently had its premiere at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival. It will screen at the Indie Short Film Series in Charlottesville, VA on July 30, 2022. Tickets are now on sale at Eventbrite.

The goal of this short film is to help us get out our message and end the bullying epidemic in all its forms and empower people to speak out and share their stories.
