Our goal is to create contests, films & public service announcements that address issues pertinent to youth today & can be used in a multitude of educational settings. Some of the projects associated with WOO Films include:

THE DIFFERENCE:

Hosted by WOO founder Hal Eisenberg, The Difference is a web series that spotlights what incredible youth are accomplishing every day to make a difference in

their community and the world. Young people are featured and interviewed for the advocacy work they do for charities, fundraisers, non-profits, schools, churches and their communities. Youth programs and organizations are also featured, sometimes with guest “youth” hosts. The Difference will include a “hot topics” round table discussion with young people providing a variety of viewpoints on issues that face their generation.

VERY IMPORTANT: To all participants in our programs past and present... This Sunday we are shooting a short documentary that was requested from potential major investors. The subject of the film is about WOO - why its important - how it impacted your life - why someone should invest - where are you now. We are looking for about 10 people who were or are participants from all years to come to the Upper West Side this Sunday at 3pm. We are shooting in a beautiful townhouse of a dear friend and supporter of WOO, and if the weather is good we will be shooting on his rooftop. If you are interested please message Hal privately for more details. If you are out of state and want to participate, we would love for you to send us a video. Please spread the word. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE FUTURE OF WOO.
