Blood In My Locker - The Motion Picture


James Miller Productions would like to respond to some concerns over the motion picture, "Blood In My Locker" which is to start shooting in Metro Vancouver in August 2008. The motion picture, although having a scene involving a mass school shooting, is being produced to educate and inform on prevention of violence and helping persons at risk of becoming violent in schools and communities. The film tells the story of four teens who face challenges and must learn to overcome them. Detailing the methods that work for three of the four while the fourth teen "falls through the cracks", it will be a gritty, shocking and graphic look at issues facing today's youth. It will not sensationalize the fourth individual and in fact will demonstarte ways that the youth is overlooked along with many warning signs and cries for help before he takes lives of fellow students and school staff. This film will be sure to fire up emotions and debate over the issues and act as a stepping stone for people of all ages and backgrounds to gain a further understanding of the issue and of how to identify risk factors and indicators.

James Miller, the script writer - producer and director has been working in the area of violence awareness and intervention for many years. He sees this film as a way to get the message out to the mass public. The film is sure to cause some debate and may be very emotional for some people to watch but at the end of the day, this film will prevent the loss of lives. That is the goal of the project. This will be a hollywood style movie that delivers an impactful message. Within the first 2 hours of posting the casting and crew call in Vancouver, BC Canada, dozens of people responded to get involved in this project in order to be a part of something they know will have a long lasting effect.

James says, " I am not here to glorify the individuals who have taken the lives of our children in schools around the globe. The sensationalism will be focused on the characters in the movie who are able to get help and admit they need outside assistance with their problems. The ones who recognise their own vulnerabilities and issues and are able to find the help they did not know was there. The ones who felt so alone and isolated by their issues and found that when they did get help, there were many others going through the same struggles and they were not alone after all. I know that some people will be upset with this project and I have already received some very intense communications against the project but that will not stop this project. It needs to be done."

James Miller is the Founding Director of the internationally recognized organization, "E.N.D. Youth Violence" (www.youthandviolence.com) and author of the book, The Three Keys To Youth Crime Prevention" being released later this year by Rowman and Littlefield Educational Publishing. James is also the Owner and President of James Miller Productions and several subsidiary companies. He has worked on many projects in the production industry and has also played small roles as an actor and comedian in several projects. He further stated, " I know how emotional this topic can be. I worked with victims of the Columbine tragedy to block the release of a video game that allowed players to re-enact the massacre. I assure everyone this will be something that at the end of the day will have a positive impact on the people who see the movie and the issue of Youth Violence as a whole.
