A year with volunteer teens, who otherwise would not have come together.
An experiment in mutual empowerment, awareness and respect grown from a common creative goal: To tell an original story on film that they wrote together.

As each participant directs a scene, and shares their home life from their own point of view and camera, the result is a portrait of collaboration and acceptance, in order to gain the support of the group for their own respective scene. From acting, to music, locations, sets, art, casting of professionals (who they acted with) to becoming a part of the next generation series (upcoming) Bellport changed the lives of the participants, their mentor (Craig Mowry), the Principal who made the project feasible, Patrice Hatwood, and the projects overall directors: Craig Mowry and Steve Panariello.

Bellport is now, a generation later, becoming THE BELLPORT PROJECT, a national initiative and streaming series in the making. The next "first group" of creative participants being put forth by the original group- as their way of continuing their experience with their 1998 year of Self discovery.

The new series will include bonus segments, including the original film and interviews with the original group, who today have children the age they were in the original. Again, Craig Mowry will mentor the first group- before opening the series up to a world of groups submitting based on the new format, which will be revealed in the exciting first episode currently in pre-production.
