From the
press release:
Twelve-year-old Jordan Coleman, the voice of Tyrone (the moose) on Nickelodeon’s Nick Jr. show The Backyardigans, is raising his voice to encourage African-American boys to stay in school. Using earnings from his voiceover career, Jordan’s youth film “SAY IT LOUD!” will be shown in seven cities this summer as part of AMC Entertainment’s AMC Summer MovieCamp® program.
Challenged by his parents to give back to his community, Jordan, an honors student at the Hackensack Middle School in New Jersey, conceived “SAY IT LOUD!” Jordan believes his film will inspire black boys to study hard and stay in school. According to statistics, less than 50% black boys graduate from high school in the United States. ...
In hopes of reaching his peers, Jordan enlisted the help of musical artists, businessmen, politicians and athletes whose larger-than-life status makes them an inspiration to young people. Jordan’s film includes appearances by Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Master P, Winky Wright, Michael Strahan, Rev. Al Sharpton, Yung Joc, Hurricane Chris, Swizz Beatz, Jadakiss, Biz Markie, the Mayor of Newark and others.
“Hopefully, when black boys see my movie they will be inspired to get a good education and to do something positive in their own community,” said Jordan. “I had so much fun making the movie and meeting celebrities. Kids get tired of hearing about the importance of education from their parents so I think they will be happy to hear that Kobe’s parents took him off the basketball team if he got bad grades and Vince Carter’s parents required him to have a 3.0 average.” ...
A nominal fee of $1 per guest will be charged, with all admission proceeds, excluding taxes, going to AMC’s charitable partners –Variety–The Children's Charity and the Will Rogers Institute. AMC will screen “SAY IT LOUD!” in New York, Washington D.C., Kansas City, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Miami as a double feature following the Wednesday morning film (see list of designated dates below). ...
