  “This Is For The Birds”, is a multi-layered digital short-story. It was created to be a discussion starter about marginalization, but also to help develop media literacy skills in conscious ways. This detailed facilitation guide along with the FREE movie can help you approach and  talk about a number of sensitive topics in a non-threatening way.  

It is the writer's hope, that by understanding, and discussing, both marginalization, and the importance of developing media literacy skills in conscious ways, that viewer's will want to continue expanding their consciousness, and "be the change' the world needs them to be.

What’s the connection? 

Media and Content Literacy of course!

CMC, LLC, Founder and Chief Considerations Officer, joins Dr. Angie Anderson, LPC for a delightful discussion on the Hot! Hot! Hot! topic of  Media Literacy. 

We discuss the importance of acquiring media literacy skills  and I give some tips for how to do so in conscious ways. 

Children are engaging with media at very early ages, so in addition to providing tips for adults, I share an easy way to engage children in the media analysis process.    

Do media-makers have a responsibility to consider the sensitivities of their audiences when creating and/or releasing media?

As a contribution to this year's Artistic Climates Research Symposium, CMC, LLC founder, Ava will facilitate a brief discussion about the movie "Songbird"-- a fictional movie set in 2024 about the societal impacts of a COVID pandemic. 

As well, participants will consider other forms of media and discuss the role, considerations and responsibilities of media-makers, sponsors and promoters. 

Does the public demand that responsibilities and considerations be given to all people with sensitivities--or just to certain people's sensitivities?
