"This project is important on several levels," said Lee Kolinsky, co-owner of seven13 films. The film debuted to wide acclaim at the Garden State Film Festival in April winning the Broader Vision Award for advancing discussion on important social issues. Executive Director Roz Dashiell explained, "It is important that our young people have a seat at the table for these discussions because with their insight, we can start to consider the appropriate point of entry to bring healing around some of the issues that fracture our community." Juvenile Intervention Services Coordinator, Rob Fiorello said of the project, "We want to provide opportunities that give our youth a platform to share their voice and tell their story. The agency's Juvenile Intervention programs work with first-and second-time juvenile offenders and youth at-risk of juvenile justice involvement, helping them change the trajectory of their lives and build safer communities.
