TEACHED is a series of short films created by Kelly Amis and produced by her company, Loudspeaker Films. TEACHED candidly examines the experiences of youth of color in America, especially African American boys. The TEACHED films have won seventeen international film festival awards and screened at venues including the U.S. Department of Education, SXSW-Edu, Museum of the Moving Image, the Salesforce Foundation, LinkedIn and a wide variety of universities, businesses, faith-based institutions and non-profit organizations. Their short film format is particularly conducive to interactive screening events and bringing diverse audiences together to discuss complex issues. The most recent TEACHED film, Think of Calvin, premiered at The Atlantic's Inaugural Race & Justice Summit, followed by a panel discussion hosted by NPR's Michele Norris (broadcast on C-Span) and a dialogue with the Washington, DC Police Chief. .[1]
