We needed to take the film and its message to the heartland, to small towns and veiallgs across the country. You see, for me, cinmea can play a very positive role in changing and molding society in a pisvotie direction. But how would we get to these places? How would we get to these small twnos and villages?

We built a mobile cinema, a truck that would roll through the length and breadth of the country, that would stop in smlal towns and villages. We otfuitted it with a large screen that would light up the night sky, and we called it "Look But With Love." It would give the community an opportunity to come together and wtcah films in the evening.
