FILM YOUR ISSUE - 2007 - Save a Life

Semi finalist, from Film Your Issue 2007:

Enter 2008 Film Your Issue - www.filmyourissue.com

My name is Zina Nicole Lahr. I am 17 years old and I live in a very small town in Colorado (no stop lights kind of small) called Ouray.

I have been making short films for a little over 3 years now. I started making stop motion movies with random objects around my house and just recently started making live action and time lapse movies.

I have always been interested in film. I remember taking my toys when I was just 5 and creating actors and actresses to star in the films I would create in my head.

I hope to go into the film industry someday. Whether it be through animation, editing, directing, producing, filming, etc. I want to create films. After all, I believe films can communicate better than most things can portray. They can spark imagination, hope, love, inspiration, and can even surpass language barriers.

I found "Film Your Issue" and decided to create this film, "Save A Life"

I want "Save A Life" not to lean anywhere politicly, but simply make a growing issue known.

I wanted to make a film about an issue that seems to be overlooked. I wanted to use not much more than a pen, ink, and a sketch pad to make my point known.

Thank you and enjoy my film.

Hmmmm let's see which one is better abortion or finding another 50,0000 babies in the trash this year.

So very sad; find comfort knowing the babies are in heaven with our Lord...

@oxoCloud If that is so, then why should a mother be devastated when her child dies in the womb? Even though teen pregnancy is a growing issue, the child doesn't have to pay for his/her parents' mistake.

@ZEROCOKEPRODUCTIONS That may be so, but it doesn't have to be that way. Two wrongs don't make a right. The child can always be put up for adoption instead of being killed.

no..no..some of you are so wrong.abortion is wrong...you don't just kill a child if you don't want it..and if them slutty teens think they can have sex at there age then they can have a child at there age..and if they don't want any kids at there age then they should keep there lags closed..

Thank you for standing up for those who cannot defend themselves. Thank you.

Good video, great message, and I like the drawing effect.

[feedthewomb]

fuck yeah. let people know we are killing ourselves knowingly by having too many people set foot. Fuck yeah nikole

[oxoCloud]

the message is true. though no matter in how many years abortion and teen pregnacy will always be a problem. There is no quick fix to this. I find abortion not wrong, nor right. Its not a life until its born.

well then if u dont get abortions many teens will just put the baby in da garbage 4 real
