“We don’t have to agree to get along.” That's the idea behind “Common Ground,” a new two-minute film from writer and director Nate Townsend.

Shot in South Georgia, it follows two lifelong friends who find themselves on opposite sides of a ballot measure. "Common Ground" finds optimism in the ordinary: people exercising their right to disagree while continuing to participate in democracy together. We encourage every eligible American to register and vote this election season and to extend trust and respect to neighbors who may see things differently. @nateltownsend @michaeljhurst
