With Pastor Steve leading the way, our vision is to provide our youth with a creative media outlet. In addition, Legacy’s goal is to stimulate interest and real-world readiness, financial independence, and for our youth to become positive members of the community and society in general. Inspired by the life of Dr. Billy G. Ingram, 'The Legacy' is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to attract, engage, and transform the lives of at-risk youth, and to inspire their interest in creative arts such as media, music, film & TV production, leading to secure and sustainable careers in the entertainment industry.
We live in a time and a community where our youth are at an even greater risk of poverty, social and economic instability, crime, drugs, and abuse. Under-resourced communities experience the greatest risks. Therefore, it is critical for us to help youth discover their purpose and keep them safe and productive.
Today, it is up to us to build this legacy!
Inside
our world

The Legacy we’re leaving through short films…
“I Was Silent Until” is a cryptic cinematic piece about sexual assault in the military. When faced with this kind of abuse, silence seems like the safest solution…until someone else experiences the same thing. Then, it becomes increasingly difficult to remain silent. It takes courage to speak out against abuse! It is necessary.
“Scripted” shows the suspenseful story of a jealous best friend whose obsession leads to violence. Unbeknownst to a young highschool boy, his best friend is jealous of his relationship with his girlfriend. The obsessed friend will stop at nothing to get rid of people who come in between their friendship. Healthy friendships and relationships are highly important.
“Rags 2 Riches” highlights how social media drives people to mask who they really are. Some people are not who they appear to be. Siblings long to live in a better environment together, and are suddenly adopted by an influencer family. However, their dream becomes a nightmare when they are mistreated by their new social media crazed “family”. This family’s true intentions quickly became clear after the siblings arrival. It is all exposed, eventually.
“Run”, but not in a sense of avoidance, but rather running to what scares you…facing your fear to ignite change. A single mother raising two teens; a brother who struggles with mental health, and a sister who is determined to graduate and move forward in life. Mom is in denial until the inevitable forces her to face what she fears most, the challenges of accepting that she has a mentally unstable son. Mental health cannot be ignored or else the consequences can become detrimental.
