About the film

Don’t You Hate Us

This original short film, written and directed by Tyler Simmons, follows a young boy and his brother as they struggle to survive in their desolate, destroyed hometown after it’s been invaded by a foreign military force. Touching on themes of dehumanization through propaganda and childhood trauma, the film aims to act as a call to action for audiences to think about the lives of children suffering through war.
While starting as a student film produced for graduation, this has now become a project that the cast is incredibly passionate about and we hope to not only launch our careers through its success, but also potentially change people’s point of view and leave an impact on its viewers for a long time to come.
