8 Things to Know About Little Brother

If you’ve recently discovered Little Brother or are simply interested to learn more, here are a few quick facts about the project:

  • Regional Focus – Each year we make a new documentary film with new young men in a new city. As a result, the series becomes a look at our cultural landscape across the country, as well as a look at the young men who live there.
  • Short Films – Each film in the series runs about 15 minutes. The time frame allows the films to play in any setting – theaters, classrooms, events, or at home – and leaves room for a conversation around the issues explored.
  • Third Leg of the Journey – We’ve completed two films in what will become a 10-film series. Our first chapter was filmed in Camden, NJ, and the second in Chicago, IL. Our third film takes us to interview young men in the state of Florida.
