A CALL FOR SOCIAL CHANGE

The Bat Allison song nominated for "Best Song for Social Change", titled "Love Hate", deals with the frustration of the current state of the world and the loss of empathy. “To me it is upsetting that in this day and age there are still such atrocities that take place. I ask myself from time to time, is it getting better, are we strong enough to make the world a better place and treat each other with dignity? or is the world descending a downward spiral?” - Lynette added. It is a call to action to make a change and not just sit silent while injustices continue to occur. 

The music video for “Love Hate” has been considered for selection towards awards on best video at Milan Gold Awards, LA Independent Women Film Awards, 8 & Halfilm Awards, Hollywood on the Tiber Film Awards, winning best video at Silk Road Film Awards Cannes and Bright International Film Festival, and nominated at several other film festivals worldwide ranging from The Kansas Arthouse Festival to Tokyo Shorts and the Hong Kong Indie Film Fest among others.
