PLAYStop Child Abuse In LA
I want to create a high-quality video on the number of children impacted by abuse every year. I then plan to set up drive in movie events throughout LA to show this video (I own a drive-in movie business that includes several movie screens and the staff to set it up).

Describe the project, program, or initiative this grant will support to address the issue.
I want to create an extremely high-quality video/short film warning of the dangers of child abuse, with attention being given to Shaken Baby Syndrome, and then I want to show that film through my drive-in movie business around LA.
Describe how Los Angeles County will be different if your work is successful.
My goal is to end child abuse, especially Shaken Baby Syndrome from ever happening. If more people were told about the dangers of abuse, then I believe they would stop.
