World Wide Motion Pictures is thrilled to announce its newest collaboration with the Stop The Bully Foundation in support of the release of the film Time for a Champion. A narrative centered on the issues of bullying, Time for a Champion is the story of an adopted Mexican girl trying to pursue her dream of becoming a track star at school; however, her goals are blocked by the mischievous girls who continue to harass her for being different. Stop The Bully Foundation is excited to work with WWMPC on the distribution of this film, as both concern the common theme of the negative effects of bullying.
A little snippet about this non-profit organization: Stop the Bully Ireland was founded by a leading anti-bullying expert, Pat Forde, who has participated in the on-going anti-bullying debate in Ireland and has featured on RTE’s award-winning television series, Bullyproof. This anti-bullying organization searches for ways to empower people of all ages to effectively manage bullying confrontations by improving confidence, assertiveness, self-esteem, and producing positive thinking.

An inspirational story that will grab the hearts of all teenagers worldwide, do not miss out on the theatrical release of Time for a Champion on International STAND UP to Bullying Day that takes place on February 24th, 2017. Don’t forget to wear pink!
“There are lots of kids that have something that they will be made fun of,” Drew Brees said. “Their name, the way they look, they way they talk, and laugh. It’s so unfair but it’s reality. We need to know how to handle it.”
It is so very important in today’s very superficial culture to be confident and unique, and Brees shows us how to embrace our differences, despite our imperfections because we all know, no one is perfect.
“I just got to the point where I brushed it off,” Brees said. “I just remember my mom telling me as a kid, hey that’s where an angel kissed you. So I guess that’s how I handled it. I would use it as motivation.”
Aside from being a contender on the field, Drew is also a contender for putting a stop to bullying through public service announcements. “I want my fans to know that if you are bullying someone because they are different, you are no friend of mine,” Brees says in an ad aired on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “Making fun of someone because they are different from you is not being tough. It’s being ignorant. Appreciating people from how they are different from you, that’s what it takes to be a friend.”
It’s unlikely that his childhood enemies would have much to say to him now. Drew Brees is the quarterback for the New Orleans Saints football team and is a 3x First-Team player, 9x Pro Bowler, and MVP of Super Bowl XLIV. Not to mention he’d be a pretty solid pick to have on your Fantasy Football team this year. Without a doubt, the man has been had a tremendous career and it is hardly over.
It’s great that champions like Drew Brees give advice concerning their past and how they have personally prevailed in overcoming difficult life situations. Without a doubt, Drew Brees is a role model to many people, kids, and adults alike. In fact, after hearing his story, the loyal New Orleans fan base has even created a sticker shaped like his birthmark to wear on game days.
No one said the road to becoming a champion was easy, but perhaps a kiss from an angel will give you further guidance.
Time For A Champion is a film that can teach us how to cope with our insecurities and inner turmoil through the eyes of Elena, a future track star from Mexico who is adopted by an American family from Pharr, Texas.
