Citizen’s Cry, A PSA For Mobilize the Vote 2008

posted by Scott Beale on Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

“Citizen’s Cry” is a PSA produced for Palm’s Mobilize the Vote 2008 campagin to help inspire the youth of America to vote. The video was directed by Corey Rosen, with executive producers Hooman Khalili and Adam Ottley.

This video is a call to the American millennial generation, and the rest of the country, to speak now with our vote, so that our silence will not echo for generations to come. The “Citizen’s Cry” makers are targeting the millennial generation specifically because less than 50% of them have ever voted in a presidential election.

  1. Dude this should be on your front page!!!

  2. How original, scare out the vote.

    We need smart people voting, not scared lambs.

  3. Wow! That really mobilized me. Can you post more PSA's made by recently graduated film students? Sorry for the cynicsm, God knows there's enough of it in this country, but everyone knows that PSA campaigns are only good as demo reel builders for DP's and budding young directors, and no one bothers to measure the impact of a PSA's message the way they would an ad for Olive Garden.

    The only people who will benefit from this spot are Palm's marketing wonks, the company's stockholders, and its two (2!) executive producers. Nice visuals, though.

    People that need to be motivated to vote probably shouldn't.

  4. What “Millennial” ever called themselves that? It's a “this is your brain on drugs” scare tactic/old person's lecture for voting. What a way to reach the younger generation, pops.
