"Stories can conquer fear, you know. They can make the heart bigger." --Ben Okri
Old Skool Cafe
As a juvenile corrections officer, it broke Teresa Goine's heart to see young offenders coming back through the California prison system time and again. Sending these youth back home without a support system to keep them on the right track seemed to be setting them up for systematic failure. Eventually, Goines came up with the idea of Old Skool Cafe, a 1940s-style supper club run entirely by at-risk youth. This film is a voluntary project by Still Motion -- the first film in their "Share" project to give back to society by doing what they do best -- tell stories.
