Moknowsbest's GOLDEN YEAr
Moknowsbest's 24k initiative is to produce 24 original documentary films with local Atlanta youth. Through the Bluest Space Documentary Film program, students will produce their own short film during the 6-session film production course. Our film production course guides, trains, and allows space for youth to express their emotions through filmmaking.
We believe children are the key to a brighter future. As we intently focus on building confident, empathetic, and self-aware youth, we enrich the individual lives of children while also putting ourselves on a golden path to improve our collective futures.

Program Initiatives
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL EMPOWERMENT | Express Emotions Through Storytelling: Students respond to the stress of filmmaking in a safe environment, learning to become more self-aware and manage their emotions. Through co-writing scripts and partnering to make a film, student's interpersonal skills grow and empathy expands.
EQUITY AND PROJECT-BASED LEARNING | Learn Marketable Skills: To close the Achievement Gap, our curriculum is aligned with various Georgia film course curriculums. Every student, no matter his or her academic background, writes from experience, learns the value of their voice and promotes their ideas, verbally and in writing. Our young filmmakers learn graduate-level concepts and decide how to apply them to their films while collaborating and problem-solving with their peers.
MINDFULNESS PRACTICE | Learn Coping Methods To Manage Difficult Emotions: Our students are led to be attentive, aware, and careful about how they think and speak about themselves, their current life circumstances, or past experiences. Writing prompts and group discussions encourage every student to disarm judgments to different perspectives, encouraging diversity and personal acceptance.
IMPLEMENTING AUTHENTIC NARRATIVES | Build Confidence In Sharing Your True Story: Hollywood develops societal norms, but it does not reflect the complete diversity of our society. Equity and access issues have kept certain groups from telling their authentic stories on Hollywood screens. These issues have limited dispersal of cultural knowledge and a better acceptance of our diverse world. Our programs builds the skills, portfolio, and social connections that young filmmakers need to positively reshape their perception of their value in the world and work in the film industry.
