Role: Producer, Director, Writer

For: Claremont Graduate University

Honors: CINE Golden Eagle Award

Math is a gate-keeper for kids. And for kids from poor neighborhoods, it can be the thing that locks them into a life of poverty. This film follows a group of 13 year old African-American boys in the first summer of a unique, month-long math camp designed to help them break through that barrier and get into college.
