229: Taking Steps to Show Gun Safety on Screen
Description
Writer, producer, and director Matt Nix (True Lies, the Good Guys, Burn Notice) shares his unique perspective on the Show Your Safety campaign, and how Hollywood can be a change-driver by encapsulating messages of responsible gun ownership within captivating (and realistic) storylines. With JJ, Matt breaks down how crafting narratives on responsible gun ownership and gun safety messages isn't impossible, how more folks want a John Wick gun safe than you might think, and how storytelling isn't hampered with a fight for social good.
