USA Character Project
USA Network just launched a very cool project of short films by some amazing filmmakers. The Character Project is an ongoing artistic initiative committed to celebrating America’s characters – the interesting, dazzling, and distinctive people, from all walks of life, who make this country extraordinary.
USA partnered with RSA Films and Ridley & Tony Scott and commissioned eight talented filmmakers to each explore the theme of character from their own unique perspective. From lost loves to loyal friends, private heroes to public personalities, the subjects of these short films – some real, some fictional – show the courage, connection, humor, and hope that give shape to the American character. After all, characters are what make us USA.
My two favorites are Duck, the story of a ten year old boy who overcomes his fear of being touched, and Monster Slayer (written and directed by my friend Caskey Ebeling), a story about a young man drawing the courage to face his real and imaginary demons.
