Community Prophets

Community Prophets specialises in delivering media based engagement and empowerment programs for youth that often lead to the production of high-end film, television and interactive content.

Our YOUNG PROPHETS workshops for marginalised and at risk youth focus on long-term capacity development and community partnerships.

Our high-end SCREENWORKS bring unique stories and storytellers to 'mainstream' markets around the world.

YOUNG PROPHETS: Since 1998 the Community Prophets model has evolved through a highly sought after program of digital and interactive media workshops that empower marginalised youth. We are focused on inspiring young people to value and assert their unique voices through creative expression. Community Prophets gives young people control of the means of producing digital media, re-connects them with their environment and community, raises their expectations of themselves and teaches them to create high quality content that validates their identity and their voices.

SCREENWORKS: We are creating high-end broadcast content - inspired and guided by unique stories and storytellers who rarely find a voice in 'mainstream' media. The Community Prophets model was used to create the acclaimed convergent media project Us Mob (ABC TV and www.usmob.com.au), the landmark drama Burn (www.burn-movie.com.au) and the inspirational series Voice From The Cape (ABC TV).

Community Prophets is currently training and producing film, television and interactive screen projects in partnership with diverse communities in Australia, Canada and the United States.
