The Urgent Crisis Facing Our Youth
Today's youth live increasingly digitized lives—often disconnected, anxious, and directionless despite being more "connected" than ever before. The consequences are alarming and demand immediate attention.
SCREEN SHOT pulls back the curtain on the hidden impacts of media overload that parents, educators, and community leaders need to understand now:
  • Emotional fragmentation affecting mental development
  • Social isolation despite digital connectedness
  • Decision fatigue leading to poor life choices
  • Cycles of instability that can ultimately lead to incarceration
Extended Preview Screening Event Was a Success!
On Friday evening, May 2, 2025, we held the extended preview screening of SCREEN SHOT, our groundbreaking documentary exploring the impact of media consumption on our youth's future. The event was followed by an open forum with Illinois Senator Adriane Johnson.
Attendees took the opportunity to give their valuable feedback on the film. They also had the chance to interact directly with Director George Moore, Jr., Senator Johnson, and the entire production team. This interactive session allowed for a meaningful dialogue about the critical issues raised in the documentary.
The enthusiastic response from the audience was a testament to the power and importance of this project. SCREEN SHOT is shining a much-needed light on the digital crisis facing our communities, and we're grateful for the support and engagement of our community partners and local leaders like Senator Johnson.

The Stakes Have Never Been Higher
Media consumption among youth has reached unprecedented levels, with the average teenager spending over 7 hours daily on screens outside of schoolwork. The correlation between excessive screen time and rising youth mental health issues is no longer debatable—it's a documented crisis.
SCREEN SHOT isn't just a documentary—it's an urgent intervention at a critical moment in our cultural history.
Real Solutions for Digital Age Challenges
Identify
Recognize the warning signs of unhealthy media consumption in young people, including changes in behavior, emotional regulation, and social interactions.
Discuss
Create safe spaces for honest conversations about media influence, using SCREEN SHOT's discussion frameworks to guide productive dialogue without judgment.
Implement
Apply practical strategies from our expert contributors, including digital wellness plans, media literacy education, and healthy boundary-setting techniques.
Connect

Early intervention is critical. Research shows that media habits formed during adolescence can affect cognitive development, emotional regulation, and decision-making well into adulthood.
