BE THE ONE GENERATION to end destructive cycles Project One Generation is a multi-faceted Aboriginal youth training initiative rooted on the principle that it only takes one generation to break a cycle . The cycle can be anything from addiction and abuse to pollution and racism. The programs created under Project One Generation encourage the viewer to be the one generation to break a cycle that adversely affects families, communities and the planet. Project One Generation Workshops Media training programs, facilitated by Big Soul Productions, engage Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal media professionals to mentor Aboriginal youth and adults in film production to use it as a vehicle to convey the message. 2006 PSA WORKSHOP In March 2006, the first filmmaking workshop took place in Toronto. 14 Native youth from Grades 5-8 wrote, acted, directed and produced five public service announcements over the course of five days. The PSA s encourage the viewer to "BE THE ONE" generation to stop smoking, listen to the voices of the youth, to stop cruelty to animals, and to encourage cultural activity. 133 SKYWAY In April 2006, 15 Aboriginal youth from the greater Toronto area, aged 18-30 participated in the production of a short film titled 133 Skyway . The film portrays the struggles faced by homeless Aboriginal people in Toronto. Starring Derek Miller in his acting debut, the film was nominated at the Yorkton Short Film Festival for ABORIGINAL PRODUCTION - , PERFORMANCE - MALE, DEREK MILLER, and ORIGINAL MUSIC - FICTION, DEREK MILLER . The trainees worked with a professional crew and were paid for their efforts. Many have indicated that they will seek further experience to work towards careers in the industry.
