About Us
Make Believe Village
Make Believe Village Project is a 501c(3) founded to mentor, educate, develop and celebrate young people by providing an unparalleled opportunity to study digital media arts in a way that traditional classroom settings cannot accomplish.
Our model combines youth development, arts education, and career preparation to empower young people to gain the skills they need to be successful.
I empower their voices to shine on the silver screen, transforming their futures and fostering a world where every story matters.
