BOUT MINE I MATTER
YOUTH VIDEO PRODUCTION PROGRAM
The Bout Mine I Matter (BMIM) Program was created in honor of Shameka Sawyer’s late brother, who was lost to gun violence in 2020. Named after his clothing line, Bout Mine I Matter, the program empowers teens impacted by gun violence to share their stories through filmmaking. Open to youth ages 13-19 in the 19138 & 19144 zip codes, BMIM provides hands-on training in storytelling, cinematography, and film production. In addition to learning industry skills, participants receive paid opportunities and access to free behavioral health workshops, using film as a tool for healing and advocacy.
