Their films have been viewed by over 1,000,000 in 71 countries, & feature the top experts, compelling human interest stories & easy-to-execute strategies to make life changes that very same day. Their Film-Based Education Programs & Mental Health and Wellness Toolkits are used in thousands of schools and include interviews and feedback from experts and educators in the fields of psychology and mental health.
They were recently featured at the regional National Association of Social Workers (NASW) conference in Williamsburg this past March and will be featured again at the National NASW in June in WA DC.
Angst is designed to raise awareness around anxiety and includes interviews with kids, teens, educators, experts, parents and a very special interview with Michael Phelps. Our goal specifically is to help people identify and understand the symptoms of anxiety and encourage them to reach out for help. Click here to watch the trailer AngstMovie.com
LIKE explores the impact of social media on our lives and the effects of technology on the brain. The goal of the film is to inspire and help equip us to self-regulate. Social media is a tool and social platforms are a place to connect, share, and care… but is that what's really happening? Click here to watch the trailer TheLikeMovie.com
The Upstanders explores cyber-bully- ing, bullying amongst friends, families, co-workers and the brain science behind it all. It delves into the power of resilience, adaptability, community and belonging. The film highlights new laws and well established programs already reducing bullying in schools and communities.

"Angst captures what so many people are suffering in these complicated days: the bullying, perfectionism, panic, obsession, and too often, hopelessness. Angst is cathartic and ends with notes of hope. Every school needs to experience this program. It's that important." - Dr. John Duffy, Psychologist, Author
