About This Project

The THANK YOU LORD Gospel Music Video Clip Promotes A Successful Model for Worldwide Youth, Talent & Community Development! The Thank You Lord Music Video Project is based on proven examples of how developing Youth
and Talent can and does support community development.


Our Social Impact


We are promoting a proven model for using edutainment that can be easily adopted and replicated to develop communities all around the world regardless of race, ethnic, cultural or economic background. So actually this
story is not about me it is about the talent, people and communities I have been privileged to work with that are the same as other youth, talent, and communities all around the world.


About Our Video


Educators have discovered that entertainment and music are powerful tools that can be used to educate students, since the most intractable students who normally be even be disruptive in class can be encourage to learn
even complex subjects such as mathematics, when the lessons are presented with their favorite music. As a result we are using edutainment to work with youth and to develop talent to become role models. To do that we encourage and support the production of
edutainment by producing all genres of music as exemplified by this Wonderful "Thank You Lord" Gospel Music Video Clip.


About Us


Credit for this “Thank You Lord” Music Video Social Project is due to the partnership with Sargent Dumi Luthuli of the South African Police Force who is also the lead singer of the “Thank You Lord” music video, and
a local Zulu community leader . I am the Creative Director of Paladin Movies International, which is a startup company I relocated from Los Angeles to South Africa in 2008. So I was just a guy with camera equipment but I was prepared to come to South Africa
during the completion of a Portfolio in Digital Cinematography at California State University in LA. I also came to South Africa with an idea about doing business in a manner which makes an enduring social impact that was developed during the process of acquiring
a Masters in Business Leadership from Nova Southeastern University in Florida.


What's Ahead


We have successfully done edutainment and skills training projects and developed a model, which resulted in youth, talent and community development, that has been adapted by YouthBuild (USA):
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENhmkKqaxus We are "DOING" Great Great Work to promote WorldwideYouth, Talent & Community Development! In addition, we are producing all genres of music as exemplified
by this Wonderful "Thank You Lord" Gospel Music Video Clip.


Most importantly the support of Backers and Fans will will enable us to accomplish our primary objective is to implement and produce a video documentary of a model for sustainable self-supporting projects and social businesses that can be easily adopted
to promote Youth, Talent & Community Development around the world. FYI you can peruse the Amateur Talent Showcase at: http://www.paladinmovies.com/ to view video clips of the youth and talent work we have done as well as a short documentary of the skills training
that resulted in building rehab in the downtown area of Nelson Mandela Bay, in South Africa.

Use Of Funds

$1,000 Tipping Point Goal

The immediate Tipping Point Goal of $1,000.00 will be used to cover final production costs for the "Thank You Lord" Music Video. The successful production of this music video will allow us to spread
the word about how developing youth supports community development. In addition it will also enable us to gain fans and supporters to develop and promote our proven model for worldwide youth, talent, and community development.


The additional $3,000.00 of the Total Funding Goal will be used as follows: $1,000.00 will be used to rent a living/work space for space (based on average rental rates in South Africa) for 10-12
months. The remaining $2,000.00 will be divided between materials for  repairs and production supplies such as blank CD/DVDs, and video tapes, etc.


We intend to work hard to promote this project and ideally we will raise more than our Total Funding Goal of $3,000.00 in order to launch another YouthBuild (USA):
www.youtube.com/watch… type of project by leasing to own a building that can be rehabbed into a sound and film/video production facility and to buy building materials,
as well as to pay stipends for the youth workers in the building and construction training program. It is easy an easy task to find adults who are ready and willing with experience and skills to volunteer, supervise, and train the youth. Optimally, the support
of Fans and Backers will enable us to provide many more opportunities for youth and talent who are role models and doing their share to make the world a better place for everyone!
