    A MUST SEE

    This needs to be shown to all teenagers and drivers. In fact, it should be a part of any driving course or test. Once again, MJ Production's hit the nail on the head - BOOM! Bullseye you got your target. Please keep up the good work, you are a shooting star that I do support, follow and advocate for. I'm already gearing up for your next project(s).

    Great acting, good directing, beautiful casting, good cinematography, excellent storyline and perfect originality especially coming from a teenager. People this is what we all should be instilling to our future children that they can be successful in other avenues as well, not just sports or hip hop/rap. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

    Powerful Short Film

    This is my favorite short film. Hard to believe Maya Jai Pinson was only 16 years oId when she directed, wrote, and produced. The message is powerful for all ages.

    "Distractions" is a compelling film that effectively promotes safe driving practices and educates viewers on the dangers of driver distractions. Through its engaging narrative and impactful storytelling, the movie skillfully highlights the importance of focusing on the road to prevent accidents. With powerful performances and a clear message, "Distractions" serves as a valuable reminder for audiences to prioritize safety behind the wheel. This film enlightens, making it a must-watch for those seeking to understand the critical issue of distracted driving.

    Kudos Maya Jai Pinson!
