Amy Jackson turns producer

Amy Jackson will co-produce a short film with her friend, speaking out against and creating awareness about cruelty to animals and how to prevent it.

The actress has had a history of supporting animal-related causes, even appearing in an ad campaign that encourages people to adopt strays and not buy them.

Amy says, “We will shoot for the film soon. I will also be a part of it, though I won’t act in the film. I will be speaking about my experience of making the movie. It will have a few real stories. I believe that cruelty to animals is a serious issue and it’s important that it’s discussed more.”

The actress plans to launch the film on social media and thereafter send it to film festivals.

Amy shares a “life-changing” article that made her aware about cruelty towards animals. “A 5-year-old female cross-breed dog in Malta named Star made international headlines in 2011. She had been found by Animal Welfare Department officers, shot at point-blank range and buried alive after being covered with cardboard and a tree trunk. She died later!”

The actress felt strongly about the incident and decided to do something about it with the short film.
