RISE IN LIGHT
with Alton Mason
-
Rise in Light is a movement created by the youth to inspire and ignite the future leaders of our world. It’s a call for change, evidence of freedom and the expression of love and joy. With the timing of this pandemic, we each felt an inner calling to find some way to apply our creativity into some form of solution - no matter the size of it. We wanted to use this film as a catalyst to actually help people on ground and make an impact. Rise in light is an opportunity for us to shed light on communities that often get overlooked but also the opportunity for us to tune in to the light we all have in ourselves.
