We sit down with counsellor, writer, and former teacher Kim Fraser to explore how Chandler turns lived pain into a practical anti-bullying model for kids and families. From festival wins to global pitching, we unpack de-escalation, empathy, and why change starts with choice.
• validation from awards for a universal anti-bullying story
• bullying as learned behaviour beyond childhood
• insights from MIPJunior and MIPCOM networking
• Chandler’s expansion from short to feature film
• staying authentic without glorifying violence
• empathy lessons inspired by Malaysian wildlife
• personal Bronx bullying story and safety tactics
• practical tools to defuse aggression with unexpected kindness
• teaching roots that shaped a do-first curriculum
• truth-telling as a foundation for social change
• supporting children who are not yet ready to change
• VEU platform plans and 2026 timeline
