POWER FORWARD cover image
Very powerful short film and excellent topic, well told. A family-friendly short film about a pre-teen boy who moves into a new neighborhood in the American South, and his struggle trying to fit in.

This short live action film truly touches my heart as I remember how difficult it can be moving into a new neighborhood or a new city. This is well produced with excellent camera work, great audio, and good acting. The young people are particularly well represented here. And, the storyline is well developed in the short amount of time. Anyone that has ever moved to a new neighborhood will relate to this.

The film's message is that change is never easy, but it is well worth the effort. I give Power Forward 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST

'Power Forward' is a family-friendly short film about a pre-teen boy who moves into a new neighborhood in the American South, and his struggle with the bullying and racism that he encounters there. This passion-project short film is bilingual because many students AND families are bilingual. We believe it is our duty as artists to help kids share their stories and allow them to be heard.
