One of the most interesting facts about the making of the film Innocent Minds is that the film is based on the model of E1T1 (Each One Teach One). This model, E1T1, was developed by Bryanna Jones in 2010. At that time, Bryanna was at the tender age of ten years old. Since that age, she started helping children at local hospitals. She used to send them gift items such as toys to make them happy. As she continued her journey helping as many children as she could, she approached PMG International and The James Brown Family Foundation.
Through Bryanna’s efforts and watching the mentor and model program, Deanna Brown-Thomas -James Brown Family Foundation’s Toy Give-Away, she was able to donate toys to Vassar Hospital. With the support of the James Brown Family Foundation, she also helped a local women’s shelter. After seeing what Deanna Brown was doing with her program, Bryanna began working with Freeflight Productions to create a mentorship program for local teenagers.
As Bryanna joined Freeflight Productions, Innocent Minds was conceived. The film had a casting of local students. This casting of students provided them with an opportunity to work alongside the industry professionals, giving them much-needed experience and appreciation. As a film directed towards the mental health of the youth of the present day, Innocent Minds does a fantastic job in delivering its message.
Innocent Minds takes the opportunity as a film to get a message across the world. With its superb scripting, outstanding directing, well-settled environment, unique story and a perfectly fitting cast and crew, Innocent Minds is an art incarnate. Innocent Minds settles for nothing but the best in depicting its core aim; that is to let people know about the horrors of worsening mental health. Mental health should be taken seriously and its symptoms should not be ignored, lest the suffering person goes beyond the reach of help.
