“...self-expression
through educational
initiatives”
JMG Productions, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit
production company in the Washington, DC area
whose organizational mission is to address societal
challenges facing children and young adults by
providing a forum for their self-expression through
educational initiatives and various forms of Mass
Media and Film. Since 1997, JMG has been
training, transforming and empowering the lives
of underserved, court-involved, and incarcerated
youth, as well as all youth in public and private
schools, through structured and skilled based
diversion programs, creative arts programs, and
workforce development programs.
With an increasing number of hate crimes, bullying
and violence related issues nationwide, youth
participants of JMG Productions, Inc., will create
a special documentary for the general public
that will address hate, bullying and violence. The
documentary will help people to cope through
the fear and to learn about instrumental measures
that can insure safety and lives being saved.
Great emphasis will also be placed on making the
documentary available to schools, libraries and
youth agencies nationwide.

Understanding
Your Potential
By Myles Munroe
UThe wealthiest spot on the planet is not the oil fields
of Kuwait, Iraq or South Africa. Neither is it the gold
and diamond mines of South Africa, the uranium
mines of the Soviet Union or the silver mines of
Africa. Though it may surprise you, the richest
deposits on our planet lie just a few blocks from
your house.
They rest in your local cemetery or graveyard.
Buried beneath the soil within the walls of those
sacred grounds are….
•Dreams that never came to pass,
•Songs that were never sung,
•Books that were never written,
•Paintings that never filled a canvas,
•Ideas that were never shared,
•Visions that never became reality,
•Inventions that were never designed,
•Purposes that were never fulfilled, and…
•Plans that never went beyond the drawing board
of the mind.
Our graveyards are filled with potential that
remained potential. What a tragedy!

There have been 247 homicides in the Washington,
DC region (DC, Maryland and Virginia) during
2018, with 144 homicides (as of November 8, 2018)
having occurred in Washington, DC. More than
half of the homicide victims are young people
under the age of nineteen (19), as reported by a
News4 analysis of Metropolitan Police Department
Data. Stories from these data show a17-yearold
boy with special needs who died after being
attacked by three other students in his classroom
for not letting them use his cell phone, to a15-yearold,
shot as he walked home from school, and
a 10 year-old girl gunned down in her own front
yard as she went to get a treat from the ice cream
truck. These are just some of the few devastating
stories involving bullying and violence, with an end
result of senseless tragedies that continue to effect
communities nationwide at an alarming rate.
IThe
Issue
Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department
Patrol Chief Robert Contee said access to guns
combined with the root causes of violence
including untreated mental health issues, are
leading to the deaths of young people. “In a lot
of these cases, we have young people who are
unable to resolve conflict. When you add a gun
to that, you have a deadly situation.”

JMG youth participants (known as Cohorts)
receive extensive training on creating, writing and
producing Public Service Announcements (PSA’s),
documentary filmmaking, and other production
content on subject matters that focus on reducing
hate, bullying, violence, and recidivism. Each
cohort is issued an individual camera and
equipment accessories to help master the
learning process.
Public speaking, writing, photography,
videography, producing, directing, editing, audio,
lighting and graphic design are some of the
many components that the youth will learn in the
program, and become proficient in the various
skills over time. Cohorts will also have opportunities
to experience being in front of the camera, as
well as behind the camera, as they work to put
together their PSA’s and documentary film.
NThe
Need
Professional development and vocational training
within the media-broadcasting and film industry
will also be provided to create opportunities
for youth who can work as interns on various
entertainment production sets from television, film,
music and theatrical venues. Such programming
will allow these youth from all walks of life, to
learn about and share what they learned from
various subject matters to other youth as one way

to help prevent hate crimes,
bullying, and violence, while
promoting anti-bully and
violence prevention initiatives
to deter criminal behavior. For
example, having ongoing youth
violence prevention discussions,
peer-to-peer interventions,
anti-bully initiatives, and group
therapy sessions are needed as
alternatives to the status quo.

“Each cohort is issued an
individual camera and
equipment accessories
to help master the

At the end of the 10-month
training program, cohorts will
showcase their documentary
film, and PSA during a private
screening before distinguished
industry professionals, who
have opportunities to provide
feedback on students’ finished
work and suggestions for future
endeavors. Families of the
youth, as well as fellow peers,
teachers, community leaders,
and participants from the
documentary and PSA will also
be on hand for the preview and
follow-up discussions.

The
IImpact
Since 1997, JMG Productions, Inc. has provided a
wealth of rich experiences for youth participating
in the non-for-profit program. The most rewarding
impact that the JMG program has had on its
cohorts of youth is helping them to become
agents of change for their communities, families
and most importantly, for themselves. For
example, engagement and group participation
has been very strong which has resulted in 100% of
cohorts mastering an overall understanding of the
fundamentals of television and video production
and documentary filmmaking. These activities
have helped to build participants self-efficacy
such that eighty percent (80%) are now in college,
five percent (5%) are pursuing military careers and
five percent (5%) are now enrolled in vocational
training programs and pursuing entrepreneurship
options. Ten (10%) of the remaining cohorts of high
school juniors are currently applying to college for
acceptance in fall of 2020.
Participants that complete the JMG training
program leave ready for the workforce in
many entry-level positions as interns and
production assistants. A few students have
exemplified tremendous advanced proficiency
in photojournalism and documentary filmmaking.
This has resulted in work opportunities through JMG
Productions. Advanced participants serve as

through a peer-to-peer model
approach. Additionally, JMG’s
student teachers have also
been a part of JMG’s Youth
Press Corps team, where
they travel with JMG to film
special events. Such events
included the 2016 Presidential
Inauguration, Cherry Blossom

OThrough its anti-bullying, violence prevention
campaign, JMG will train a diverse group of
15 community youth from the greater Washington,
DC Region on television and video production
and documentary filmmaking. The youth will
work together as a cohort team to create,
write, produce and direct a short documentary
film, with a PSA included to address the critical
issue of hate, bullying and violence. A multitalented
writer, actor, producer, and director (Otis
Winston) will work with the cohorts on story-telling
concepts; acting; writing; directing; and most
importantly, helping to build their self-confidence
for life for overcoming fears, and insecurities,
while contributing to reducing hate, bullying and
violence. To encourage buy-in and retention,
JMG will provide an incentive for students to
attend an NBA All-Star Game in February 2019.
The
Opportunity
In addition, cohorts will have opportunities to hone
their production skills, and improve on what they
already know. During pre-arranged interviews,
cohorts will interview some of the NBA players
about their stance on hate, bullying and the
widespread violence unfolding in our country,
and get their viewpoints, as well as a message of
hope and encouragement for youth nationwide.
The goal is for youth to obtain encouragement
and inspiration to help them respond in nonviolent
ways to the difficult times they face on a daily
basis. As a finished product, cohorts will take
part editing and producing the information into
a documentary film that will premiere through
multiple outlets in September 2019.

This specialized program
incorporates the six domains
of Positive Youth Justice, Work,
Relationship, Health, Education,
Community and Creativity.
The resulting outcome of
this unique experience is to
prepare youth to be productive
citizens as well as examine
how to navigate through life’s
societal challenges. The goal
is to provide an environment
for youth to cope and prevail
in the face of seemingly
unfavorable odds; thus, instilling
self-worth and a strong sense of
responsibility for their future.

group of 15 community
youth from the greater
