Kids In The Spotlight

When HFPA reached out to KITS about creating an introduction video for the organization, we realized it was an opportunity for our youth to produce a video for a client while utilizing the filmmaking skills they learned from our programs. After conceptualizing what the promo video would look like, five (5) of our youth filmmakers wrote the promo video script.

Kids in the Spotlight (KITS) provides screenwriting and film production courses to young adults in Los Angeles’ foster care system. The founder, Tige Charity, stands behind this courageous effort to give underprivileged youths a creative outlet, which sometimes turns out to be life-changing.

Doing the Work is a series profiling key recipients of HFPA Philanthropy When Tige Charity was still working in the corporate world as an insurance specialist, her husband taught an acting course at an all-girl group home. The director of the institution invited Charity and her husband to tour the facilities.
