Project Title: Real to Reel Global
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Established in 2010, Better Youth is a Los Angeles-based media arts training organization with a mission to foster creative confidence and bridge resource gaps for foster and system-impacted youth. We aim to equip these young talents with a competitive edge in the dynamic world of media arts.<\/p>\n
Our flagship AIM-N-Inspire pre-apprenticeship program offers advanced technical training in five creative economy occupations, serving as a springboard for participants to engage in our Real to Reel Global (RTRG) platform.<\/p>\n
Better Youth\u2019s program, Real to Reel Global, celebrates their 10 year anniversary in 2024. To illuminate the talents of underrepresented youth through premier film events for both local and global audiences using our RTRG platform. Youth producers and mentors lead insightful panel discussions on relevant themes; our focus over the next three years is Substance Abuse Disorder (SUD). Our project aims to support the three-year focus on SUD and expand to employ apprentices to craft media and content for LA\u02bbs small businesses, nonprofits, and civic organizations year-round. This work will bolster the broader LA community with creative talent and offer paid opportunities for personal and professional growth to our youth.<\/p>\n
RTRG is more than just an event; it’s a platform where premiere films are showcased to audiences worldwide. Our youth producers, aged 14-24, take the lead, facilitating discussions on pressing issues, with this year’s spotlight on Substance Abuse Disorder. Moreover, RTRG is poised for growth, transitioning into a social enterprise. This innovative model will employ our program’s graduates, enabling them to craft media art materials for LA’s small businesses, nonprofits, and government entities, intertwining their personal and professional growth with the broader community’s progress.<\/p>\n
As we look to the future, we’re excited about the launch of our state and federally-registered apprenticeship program, further solidifying our commitment to youth development.\n<\/p>\n
