Alex's Pregnancy Prevention PSAs
May 18, 2008

While I usually rely on my personality for birth control, I wrote/co-wrote three public service announcements (PSAs) last year for the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Coalition of North Carolina (APPCNC), directed by Steve Milligan (SM), who I've worked with enough that we're never sure whether it's a business lunch until we're leaving the restaurant (UWLTR). Two of the PSAs have been completed. A third (my favorite, actually) might happen, might not.

I believe the finished two PSAs are currently showing before films in a few NC Triangle-area movie theaters, and will be airing on assorted television stations across the state by the end of the month. If I understand correctly (I get this all third-hand), APPCNC has also licensed/sold the PSAs to other organizations, so you might see them pop up outside of North Carolina as well.

"Timing is Everything."

This first one is aimed at the younger folk:



"Unconditional"

This second one is aimed at parents (while I do often cringe at the manipulativeness of heartstring-type ads, I probably only would've had an ethical issue with the job if this was aimed at kids/teens):



Yes, that's me. And how's this for apt casting: while technically I could have been Lea's father, I would've been 14 or so when she was born.

Third one's also aimed at parents, but it errs on the fun side like "Timing." Here's hoping we get to see it.
