Impact The film's director, Kim Rocco Shields, states that her mission as a filmmaker is “to create a body of work that will create social change.” Love All You Need? was created to spark a social change and would see an end to LGBGTQIA+ bullying. The film takes traditional misbeliefs about bullying and sex roles and flips them on their heads, and only by using this dystopian world can one realize the harmful assumptions one holds. The film allows us to see the destructive reality of bullying in a different light, one that has never shined before. By 2016, Love Is All You Need? had garnered 30 million views on Youtube and Facebook. Upon its release, the film has since been used as an anti-bullying tool in schools all over America. Gail Rolf, education director of Friends of Project 10, shares the need and importance of the film “we need dialogue, we need education, and we need to talk about these issues of those who are stigmatized and victimized because of who they are”. The film has since been translated into 15 different languages worldwide and has sparked an international dialogue on human rights. Due to the film's inspiring impact, Rocco and her production team have made a full-length feature film Love Is All You Need (2016) in hopes of continuing to impact and inspire society.
