Boys Become Men
Content Project
Boys Become Men is a two-hour documentary focusing on the life-changing initiation and mentorship of urban teenage boys into mature masculinity. The film will demonstrate how the initiation process allows young men to overcome their own inner demons, and, by filling them with confidence in their own unique gifts, enables them to meet the challenges of life with integrity, passion, and a sense of purpose, rather than entering adulthood in suspended adolescence, becoming abusive, turning to drugs, alcoholism, workaholism, or consumerism.

Always in Season
Content Project
With film and virtual reality, Always in Season takes an integrated transmedia approach to telling the story of the lingering impact of almost a century of lynching African Americans until the mid-1960s.  Our documentary feature highlights the emotional journeys of relatives of the victims, perpetrators and spectators who are turning harm to hope with grassroots efforts towards reconciliation and restorative justice, and our virtual world locale, Always in Season Island, extends the film’s message by giving audiences an experiential look at the social climate that made this form of racial terrorism possible.
