FILM
Rise Up Promo
Rise Up was created to get kids off the streets and out of the work force, where they are exposed to many forms of abuse and exploitation. This promotional film was created to bring awareness to the condition of the Nicaraguan youth and Rise Up’s efforts to help them out of a cycle of poverty and hopelessness. Rise Up nurtures: orphaned, impoverished, and abused children through family style homes and educational programs. In creating this video our goal is to show the history, struggle and possibility of what can happen when people work to empower others.

Documentary Project
In the summer of 2006 we embarked on our first documentary project and a partnership with the non-profit organization Rise Up.
In August, Jayson led a crew of filmmakers on our first trip to Nicaragua. He spent two weeks scouting locations, meeting with government officials and building relationship with the people. We are passionate about this project and know we must expose the devastation, immense poverty, exploitation of children, and social injustices that are plaguing Nicaragua.
We are concentrating on telling the stories of families living and working in the large dump community of La Chureca and the glue-addicted boys living on the streets of Managua.
"I was touched by the heart of the Nicaraguan people. I witnessed their endurance simply in the sole act of their survival. I hope we can show other people their struggles, desires and dreams and at the same time empower them to overcome their condition of living."
