Lisa Tabb and I are EXTREMELY excited to share some big news!
This September, we'll be releasing our latest feature documentary, Screenagers: Generation AI, a timely look at how artificial intelligence is rapidly impacting the lives of young people and what can be done to mitigate risks and promote healthy development. The film explores AI's growing influence on kids' and teens' social lives, academics, and mental health.
As with our other movies, we’ve made this to be shown in schools and in community screenings because we must come together to make real change.
If you’re interested in bringing Screenagers: Generation AI to your community, you can register your interest here, and our team will send you more details.
Let's face it, smartphones, social media, and endless screen time became rampant in children's lives long before society took the harms seriously. We can't afford to repeat that mistake with AI.
Before I go any further, I want to say that AI has shown real potential to do good in the world. There are many ways in which it can help with productivity and access to information in powerful ways.
But there are also many risks, particularly for youth, and tragic events have already happened, so we have to work fast.

In just a short space of time:
These aren't far-off worries. These concerns are showing up in classrooms, in counselors' offices, and around dinner tables right now.
Through the stories shared in the film, cutting-edge science and deeply honest insights from adults and youth, the film provides an emotional look at the risks and a look at what we can do right now in their social and academic lives to promote well-being.
One of the things I'm most proud of about Screenagers is that our films are made specifically for screening in schools and community settings. They become the centerpiece of real conversations in schools, parent groups, faith communities, youth organizations, and town halls all over the country.
To date, over 20,000 such screenings of our movies have happened across the country. If you are an educator, school leader, counselor, parent group organizer, or community advocate who would like to bring Screenagers: Generation AI to your community this fall, we'd love to hear from you.
You can register your interest in the movie here to receive more details on hosting our movies, screening options, pricing, and the resources available to support.
Also, we’re hoping to have preview copies of the movie to share with prospective hosts later in the summer, so register your interest to be among the first to have this opportunity.
We’ll be sharing more information about Screenagers: Generation AI in the coming weeks, and look out for some early clips from the film coming soon!
Until then, thank you, as always, for being part of this community. The conversations you have in your classrooms, your communities, and in your homes are what give this work its meaning.
