🎥 Exciting Announcement: Introducing "For Kids Like
Me" Documentary Film Project 🎬
I am thrilled to share that my team and I are currently in
development on a powerful documentary film titled "For Kids
Like Me." This project delves deep into the impact of mandatory
minimum sentencing laws on families of incarcerated individuals,
with a specific focus on the children affected.
I decided to embark on this project after my daughter, Anyé Young, wrote her book: Teen Guide to Living With Incarcerated Parents. She was a rising senior in high school at the time of her book's release and only 16 years old. I witnessed first-hand her internal struggles and turmoil while her father was in prison since he had been in prison for almost half of her life.
As an executive producer and the director of the film, I hope to
complete the development phase by April 2024 and begin production in
August 2024 to complete the film and release it before the end of
2024. I also look forward to having the film shared on a global
platform to help kids and young adults with incarcerated parents
with the resources and lessons Anyé learned of along her journey as
an advocate for prison reform.
The film follows the journey of Anyé Young, a young woman who,
during her high school years, wrote a guidebook sharing her personal
experiences as a teen with an incarcerated parent. Today, Anyé
travels around the world to share her story and raise awareness
about the adverse effects of these laws on families.
Through heartfelt interviews and discussions with others who
have experienced having an incarcerated parent, as well as experts
in the field, "For Kids Like Me" sheds light on the
challenges faced by these families and the urgent need to reform
mandatory minimum sentencing laws.
The project is present by my 501c3 nonprofit organization based in California: MyFairyGodParents.org (MFGP). Donations to this nonprofit's film project is tax-deductible on your federal income tax return. This means that the IRS considers your donation a charitable contribution and will help reduce or eliminate any taxes that may be owed.
Documentaries showcase philanthropic themes, raising awareness and engaging audiences emotionally. Supporting documentaries can amplify philanthropic efforts and enhance gift-giving programs through effective storytelling via media.
I made the decision to crowdfund for this documentary film project because I believe in the power of community support and collaboration.
By involving our audience in the creation process, we are able to not only raise the necessary funds but also build a dedicated group of individuals who are emotionally invested in the success of this project. Crowdfunding allows us to connect with people from all walks of life who share a passion for storytelling and social change.
Through this crowdfunding campaign, we aim to not only fund the production of this documentary but also to create a movement around our cause. We want to spark conversations, inspire action, and make a meaningful impact on the world. With the support of our backers, we are confident that we can bring this important story to life and reach audiences far and wide.
I invite you to join us on this important journey as we work to
bring attention to this critical issue and advocate for change. Stay
tuned for updates on our progress and ways you can get involved in
supporting our documentary.
Together, we can make a difference and give a voice to kids like
Anyé. Let's work towards a future where families are not torn apart
by unjust laws.
