Filmmakers and donors: help make short movies about the beauty of consent!
Consent Academy's Sar Surmick writes: "We need to hack culture and improve how people behave around sex and consent. Media today gives us terrible depictions of consent: Men who keep pushing, women who say 'no' repeatedly and then give in, people who ask forgiveness instead of permission, and so on.

The contest is open now, with $6,000 in prizes. Filmmakers can submit videos up to 5 minutes long at Film Freeway.
