3. The Solution – Visibility & Communication
The Reality of Cyberbullying
WHAT IS SUBMIT?
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.

4. WHY IS SUBMIT NECESSARY?
Kids have always been both sweet and cruel to each other. The difference today
is that the cruelty can be virally pushed to thousands in seconds so that a minor
disagreement can quickly become mob rule in the eyes of the victim.
This new reality requires open, honest discussion and new, inclusive approaches for
a 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, but
the lack of respect & empathy amongst them that leads to it. In addition, the
lack of coordination and understanding amongst the adults about how to discuss
the issue with kids and the tendency of the media to focus only on the worst
outcomes at the expense of much broader issues leads to a lack of overall
knowledge and more suffering. SUBMIT seeks to address this.
What is the Goal?
With SUBMIT, we focus on understanding the problem, then reframing the
discussion and approach through the viewpoints of kids, parents, technologists
and educators and, finally, showing the solutions that are in place across local,
national & international efforts. To leverage all of the interviews and events we
captured for the film, we are developing a content library of footage from kids,
parents, teachers, policy-makers, law enforcement and technology experts that we
are making available for use by educators, non-profits, policy & law professionals
and for-profit businesses as they see fit.
WHO IS INVOLVED?
We bring you to the top technology, legal, psychology and policy experts to
explore exactly what is happening and what to do. We bring you to the parents
who may see falling grades, depression or be forced to live without kids lost to
suicide. We let young students tell us in their own words how they deal with
their connected world and what the adults can do to help. You can see a list of
some of the people who have helped us both in front of the camera and behind
the scenes with their time and expertise:

5. WHAT IS THE STATUS?
The rough cut of the documentary will be completed by mid-June, including
motion graphics. We will also launch an upgraded social video platform in June.
We have digital, interactive television and institutional outlets in place and are in
early 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 early
July to allow us to begin working directly with advocacy groups and others who
would like to include new video content in their existing programs, projects
and curriculum.
You can see a short teaser of Act 1 on Page 3 based on early interviews where we
state part of the problem. We will soon update that teaser with more complete
trailers that includes our Acts 2 and 3 will show how the problem should be
addressed from the minds of kids, parents, technologists, policy-makers, educators
and 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.
