## Resource

A powerful new film project, “Once Upon a Frame,” honors the memory of 13-year-old Shawnathon Chase, killed last year, by turning youth-written stories into four short films — one based on his own words, another using AI — to combat the rising tide of youth violence. Created with his family and a production team, the initiative aims to channel young people’s creativity into purposeful, skill-building experiences, countering feelings of neglect and hopelessness. Designed for national TV and film festivals, it’s seeking corporate backing and government partnerships, with producer Kerri Birch warning that the real cost isn’t funding — it’s the societal toll of inaction.
