What would you do?

Waste your money on a 1hr30min film that nobody asked for that tries so hard to appeal to everyone and actually to no one?

Or

Take 4mins out of your time to appreciate a film that represents a community of individuals in a beautiful and unique way?

Hey Tumblr, what energizes you to achieve your dreams?

We’ve teamed up with the girls from STEP - a real life story from Fox Searchlight about a high school girls’ step team in Baltimore - to learn what energizes people to achieve their dreams. For the girls in the film, Step is Life and is helping them to achieve their dreams. It’s the outlet that keeps them united and helped them prepare to be the first in their families to go to college. When we surround ourselves with strong women, anything is possible!

We want to hear your story!

What keeps you motivated and energized, despite any hardships or barriers you face? Maybe it’s music, film, dance, sports, drawing, fandom, or maybe it’s something else.

Tell us what keeps you going and moving forward by filling in this message:

________ IS LIFE!

Post your “___ IS LIFE!” story on Tumblr with a selfie, text, video, or piece of art. Just make sure to tag your post #StepisLife so everyone can see it.

Here’s the awesome part. For every post that’s shared with the tag #StepisLife, 21st Century Fox will donate $1 to Step Up to support mentorship programs for high school girls. By sharing your story on Tumblr, you’re helping to make things possible for women everywhere.

STEP is in theaters on August 4th, 2017. Don’t miss the inspiration! Check out the trailer here. To learn more about the movie visit stepmovie.com.

To learn more, visit 21.cf/stepislife. For every use of #StepisLife across Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram between July 31 – August 6, 21st Century Fox will donate $1 to Step Up, up to $25,000.

please don't ever think that no one cares about you

I work in an ER and we see suicides all the time. And we get at least 3 suicidal ideations a night. We all care about you. I promise, we do. A team of complete strangers who have worked 3+ 12 hour shifts this week who are being screamed at all day and night and probably haven’t had lunch and trust me, we still love you and care about you.

We had a 16 year old patient last night who we couldn’t save. We were in that room with this patient for over an hour, we did everything we could. And let me tell you, we all cried. The EMT’s, the nurses, the doctor. We all huddled together in the doctors dictation room and cried.

I went through the rest of my shift with smudged mascara and tracks on my cheeks.

I remember the names of all the patients that have taken their lives on my shifts.

I remember squeezing the hands, smoothing the hair, kissing the foreheads, and wiping away the blood and the vomit of every patient that has left me too soon.

I can still see every face that I have zipped into a body bag.

Trust me, someone cares about you. You have never met them yet. You don’t ever think about them. They are never remembered when you talk about heroes and role models.

But someone loves you.

In a Heartbeat - Animated Short Film (2017)

A closeted boy runs the risk of being outed by his own heart after it pops out of his chest to chase down the boy of his dreams.

It’s here! After a year and a half of hard work, we are both so excited to finally share our film with you. Thank you all for your support and encouragement - this film means the world to us, and your kindness and enthusiasm has made this journey all the more meaningful. It is our great pleasure to share with you this labor of love, and we hope with all our hearts that you enjoy watching it as much as we did making it.
