Lights, Camera, Take Action telethon benefiting MPTF on KTLA

This short film was created for the Lights, Camera, Take Action telethon benefiting MPTF on KTLA. Conceived by Mary Pickford in 1921, MPTF (the Motion Picture and Television Fund) supports working and retired members of the entertainment community with a safety net of health and social services including temporary financial assistance, case management, and residential living. From childcare to living and aging well with dignity and purpose, MPTF is there to guide the industry workforce through the enormous obstacles life presents. For over 100 years, the extraordinary generosity of the entertainment community has enabled MPTF to deliver charitable services to industry members in need.
