Being a young person in today's world can be highly confusing and frightening. Standards of behavior are no longer clear and uninformed choices abound.
As you imagine what it might be like to be a kid today, you may be able to see how some of the issues that were accepted as black and white when you were at school could now appear grey. Lines that were once thought of as crisp are now blurred, or could at least seem that way.
This Caring 4 Kidz project is about empowering our youth with the appropriate psychological and behavioral tools, enabling them to make educated choices that they can own and be proud of. It's about enabling them to think for themselves and exercise informed judgments.
We are looking to work with filmmakers around the world to help us make these films in every language and culture. A big task yes, but the results will be worthwhile.
Craig A Kocinski - Founder
Having survived a childhood of physical and psychological abuse, Craig knows how debilitating those scars can be. Producing the film Silence had an enormously cathartic affect; leaving him with the feeling that if everyone knew how it feels to suffer or survive abuse in any form, there would be less probability of it happening in the first place.
The thought that he might be able to help stop abuse from happening and help survivors feel normal, drove him to relentlessly pursue the making of Silence.
Craig's parents, Ron and Shashanna Kocinski, have been an incredible support in all of his endeavors.
