MATTHEW MARSHALL
We so admire the 80 teen actors and 30 crew members, and some parents, that enabled Marshall's script to be 'fleshed out' to a decent reality that is portrayed by a large number of teens in the production of this movie.
Malicious Attack - a 49-minute dramatic film about bullying and how it affects high School students it impacts. It feature's Naomi Spencer a teenage girl who is pushed to her limits by several girls at her school who makes her the target of their attacks until Naomi reaches a breaking point. The film is made by m & s Marshall Productions in association with iFilmGroup.org
While talking with the teens on set, many expressed that this movie so closely depicts their own victimization in their life by bullies.
The whole cast and crew no doubt lived a reality-check of the emotional stressors caused by bullying when shooting each scene. Topics of the victim's voice not being heard, and even the stress caused by caregivers that would not listen to the victim became 'hot' topics in conversation on the set.
October is World Bullying Prevention Awareness Month. During the month, the spotlight is put on the issue of bullying. iFilmGroup in its work with youth and seniors in the film industry stands behind this goal to prevent bullying of any kind.
During the month of October, iFilmGroup released its new film ‘Malicious Attack’ which deals with the issue of bullying on October 13th which is National Stop Bullying Day.
Bullying can come in many forms and leaves victims feeling helpless. The month-long awareness is to remind us that students, parents, teachers, and school administrators all play a role. Positive change comes as we begin to emphasize respect and inclusion on Schools and campuses across the country and the world.
Comments from Don Hickey: iFilmGroup Community Engagement Manager: “It’s very rewarding to see youth and seniors pulling off an amazing production that addresses one of the ‘social issues of society. There’s no doubt, this film’s message will cause discussions on the subject!”
“This is what iFilmGroup and its ‘pool’ of talented artists are all about… KUDOS!”
