“I’m the proud father of two Black boys and the senseless killing of Trayvon Martin pisses me the hell off,” said director Mark Ridley. “I had to find a way to use that anger and make a difference.” He did. Ridley recently shot the Martin shooting inspired PSA titled “Unhood Your Mind.”
Ridley is now in post production with editor Darrin Forsythe. “Mark and I will pull several all-nighters before the PSA is completed,” said Forsythe. “What Mark wants will require at least 30 hours of old-fashioned, hard work. I appreciate the opportunity to work side by side with a force of natural like him.” The “Unhood Your Mind” PSA will be introduced to the world in about three weeks.
