SUBMIT: THE VIRTUAL REALITY OF CYBERBULLYING TM

Bullying has taken on a new and powerful shape. Technological anonymity and unlimited access to digital devices has propelled an uprising of cyberbullies. Bullies have NO accountability. Being a victim of cyberbullying can change a child’s world in an instant. Relentless, cyberbullying is 24x7x365 and reaches as far as the internet can carry it. In the worst cases, it can be a catalyst for our youth to take their lives. Cyberbullying is spreading as our world becomes more technologically advanced. Submit is an effort, a true labor of love and service, to help shine light more extensively than ever before on the virtual reality of cyberbullying.

TARGET AUDIENCE

SUBMIT is targeted to inform, inspire and empower three primary interest groups:

INSTITUTIONAL MARKET: Leaders of non-profits and corporations who are actively engaged in the business of child safety and Internet security.

ADULTS 30–55: Parents of teenagers—the demographic group directly impacted by cyberbullying

PERSONS 10-24: The key demographic group from which cyberbullies and cybervictims emerge.

SUBMIT was created to help educate and encourage elected officials, educators, civic leaders, law enforcement and faith-based institutions to unite in arresting cyberbullying in our society.

SUBMIT will have a nationwide footprint and is being positioned for distribution via cable television, the internet and major movie networks.

WHAT IS SUBMIT?

SUBMIT is a documentary and interactive platform that explains the truth about cyberbullying.

Beyond the film, we have launched Submit Your Story; an internet based call to action for victims, bullies, bystanders and groups to share video stories and to provide valuable resources supporting both recovery and awareness from the tragedy of cyberbullying. Submit Your Story can be found on submitthedocumentary.com

attended.
