Community Event hosted by Serlo Media
World premiere of documentary “A Tale of Two Mothers” by local filmmaker, Stephon J. Davis
Atlas Theater located at 22624 Lakeshore Blvd. from 7pm to 9pm.
September 29, 2018
September is National Su***de Prevention Month; some of the proceeds will be donated to the two mother’s foundations – Dancing for Life and Caleb’s Anti- Bullying Cause.
Tickets can be purchased at http://www.atlascinemas.net/shore.aspx or at the box office 22624 Lakeshore Blvd. Euclid, Oh 44123. Ticket cost $10.00.
A new documentary from local filmmaker Stephon J. Davis “A Tale of Two Mothers” will have a premier showing at Atlas Theaters on Lakeshore Boulevard September 29, 2018 at 7pm. Tickets can purchased at http://www.atlascinemas.net/shore.aspx or at the box office 22624 Lakeshore Blvd. Euclid, Ohio 44123.
In the documentary two mothers with different backgrounds experience the same grief; losing a child to teen su***de.
“Although the mother’s backgrounds seemed different at first glance what really drew me to each of the mothers was how similar their stories were to each other”, Stephon said.
The goal that the filmmaker hopes to accomplish is “I want to be able to give survivors a small measure of comfort and to those who are struggling internally to give them hope and inspiration”. Stephon uses this quote from Anna Jones, founder of Up the Steps, who appears in film “you CAN live to see another day”.
I would like for anyone who is struggling, a survivor, mental health professionals, educators, parents, students and community leaders to come see the film “A Tale of Two Mothers”. Q & A with cast and Director will follow the movie. Anyone interested in being a sponsor for future showings, wanting resource material that you or your organization provides to clients at this event or future events, or would like to learn more about the event project or to purchase a film screening kit can contact me at;
