“A Comeback” Season #1
Transforming Lives in our Black Youths
Matters of the Heart is thrilled to start a life-changing summer program. Participants will understand the value in capturing memorable photos, how to use equipment, creating a storyline and recording videos. With our cutting edge studio and great leaders in the movie industry, we are dedicated to putting our Black Youths (ages 16-21) first. Our Educational program is a much-needed service.
