The film is based on the true story of Australian born author\/actor Nathan Spiteri, adapted from his memoir \u201cToy Cars; One Man\u2019s Journey from Trauma to Triumph\u201d and his highly acclaimed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cRedRg7HSd8&amp;rco=1\">TEDx Talk<\/a> about how to heal in the aftermath of childhood sexual abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spiteri is telling his story to inspire other abuse victims to speak up and get the help they need while also helping parents recognize the dangers and symptoms of a child who may be being sexually abused. Today, Spiteri is an actor, writer, and successful motivational speaker living in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The production team worked with psychologist Norman Fried, Ph.D., who served as a consultant on and off camera. As a trauma specialist, Fried brought his expertise to the film to help viewers understand the psychological impact of childhood trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If You Tell Anyone&#8221; is currently being entered in film festivals around the world. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XQjfnmI3Kdc&amp;t=2s\">Watch a trailer for the film featuring Wurzbach&#8217;s score.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"861\" style=\"object-position: 50.8525% 18.9575%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/06\/Wurzbach-01-2-1024x861.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40802282929\" style=\"width:880px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/06\/Wurzbach-01-2-1024x861.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/06\/Wurzbach-01-2-300x252.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/06\/Wurzbach-01-2-768x646.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/06\/Wurzbach-01-2-1536x1292.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/06\/Wurzbach-01-2-2048x1722.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/06\/Wurzbach-01-2-150x126.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/06\/Wurzbach-01-2.jpg 3596w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wurzbach and Love at the June 2024 premiere screening of the film \u201cIf You Tell Anyone\u201d at the Angelica Film Center in New York City<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>George Wurzbach, specialist professor in the department of Music and Theatre Arts, composed the original music score for the documentary film, &#8220;If You Tell Anyone,&#8221; directed by three-time Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker Dean Love. \u201cIf You Tell Anyone\u201d is a powerful and cautionary story about the complexities of childhood trauma and its aftermath.
