Directing Change

Reggie; Our Mentor

Tags: Monthly Prompt
Film Description:

Our entry is something that’s very close to our hearts, and what’s funny about it is we were planning on making an art piece for our mentor already and when this opportunity came to play, we thought it was absolutely perfect, and it’s something he’d encourage us to do.<br />
Reggie is the CEO/founder of Project Aware, a program that helps kids learn to deal/cope with their emotions. There is thousands of things I could say about this amazing man. He’s done so much for me and my partner, we’ve learned so much about not only ourselves, but others. We’ve learned to be more emphatic, more caring and loving. He asks us such out of the box questions that really make you reflect on yourself, and I have no idea where i’d be without him. He’s an amazing mentor, hardworking, and deserves to be celebrated. This artwork is something to reflect how much we truly care for him. He helps so many people in his processes and deserves to receive something for that. <br />
Even if we don’t win any place, we want to share his story and our artwork about him! We’re also gifting him this piece of artwork as a complete surprise during one of our groups after submission, we’re very excited! :)
