Research on School shootings

 Our movie, Empty Hallways, is inspired by school shootings, which unfortunately is a reality in today’s society. School shootings are extremely common in the U.S. with 21 shootings just this year. One of the reasons that I chose to create a movie opening based off a school shooting is because more attention needs to be brought about CHANGING the issue, rather than constantly debating it. Lives of innocents are being taken day by day from school shootings, and that needs to stop. Creating a movie based off this subject is difficult because of how sensitive it can be for those who have experienced this in their life. Bringing attention to school shootings are incredibly important and needed for kids, teens, teachers, and parents sending their child to school, to feel safe. Safety builds trust, and people can’t trust school to be safe, they can’t focus on learning.
