Thank you for your contributions! We will send donor thank-you gifts by Dec. 20th. If you want to support this film after the campaign closing date, you can use this link to DONATE online via our fiscal sponsor, or email [email protected] for a mailing address to send your check. All donations are tax-deduction eligible.

JUVENILE explores how communities across the country are transforming their justice systems for youth. Driven by the personal stories of five young people who were justice-involved as teens, the film traces their pathways into the system and their journeys of trauma and healing. 

While we still have a handful of scenes left to film, we have moved into post-production and have an amazing Memphis-based creative team to see us through to the end. All donations will be used to pay the working artists on our team.

If you are as passionate about this work as we are, consider a gift of $500, $1000, or more. At these levels, you will receive VIP tickets to our film premieres and the chance to meet and greet our film participants. Plus, you will receive a "special thanks" credit at the end of the film.

We have a limited supply of thank you gifts. Perks will be given to donors on a first come basis. All donors who give at $25 or above will be recognized in the end credits of the film.
