Are you a teen with an interesting story to tell? Would you be comfortable on camera? Do you have a child? Are you behind in school? Are you about to go to college? Are you involved in other difficult circumstances? Is your family perfect or quite the opposite? Are you from the north side, south side? Are you a native or a recent arrival?

If you are a teen with a unique and compelling story, tell us about it. You could be chosen to be featured in our documentary about the struggles and triumphs of teens in Tucson.

We are a group of Tucson associated non-profits, schools and government agencies that happen to have a number of employees with media, film and production backgrounds.

 

The plan for distribution is minimal.  We will premiere locally at The Loft, schools, maybe U of A and the Screening Room.  We will distribute DVDs to local relevant agencies.  According to the quality of the production, support and response we may enter film festivals or seek distribution.

 

Several members do have work online, but this is a new initiative/collaboration.  We were responsible for the recent, high publicized and very successful MLK Day Film Festival at the Loft.

 

Sincerely,
