Kids are learning how to make movies by making their very own movie that will be screened at the Kan Kan Cinema when it’s completed.
A mentorship program is keeping kids off the streets this summer and teaching them some valuable skills. «Shoot Cameras Not Guns» is a new program in which children create an entire movie from start to finish.
«Instead of picking up a gun, pick up a camera. Show your truth, show who you are and dominate it», says DeAndra Dycus, who created the program with her husband, Eric. DeAndra is the executive director at Purpose 4 My Pain, a non-profit dedicated to raising the voices of those impacted by gun violence. Every Saturday, Eric opens his studio, Dycus Vision Production, to young people. Those kids are learning how to make movies by making their very own movie that will be screened at the Kan Kan Cinema when it’s completed.
