Terrence Fisher, a teen living in a housing project in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, had seven of his friends shot and killed by a gun violence. What could Terrence do to stop gun violence in Bed-Stuy before losing another friend, or his own life? Terrence and a fellow teen filmmaker, Daniel Howard, picked up a camera to tell the story about gun violence in Bed-Stuy. Ironically, a few months into the production, Terrence lost another friend. This time, Timothy Stansbury who was his best friend from elementary school, was shot and killed by a police officer right in front of Terrence’s face.

Terrence was severely scarred by this incident and the Bed-Stuy residents were outraged by the killing of an innocent teen. However, the Grand Jury decided that the shooting was a tragic accident and no indictment was issued against the officer. Terrence and his friends were furious. Uncontrollable anger and pain were eating Terrence alive. But instead of retaliating or starting a riot, Terrence and his friends took the path of organizing protests and creating tribute music for Timothy so that their story would spread to the world outside of Bed-Stuy.

Terrence, 19, has lived all his life in the Louis Armstrong Housing Project in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. His work with Downtown Community Television (DCTV) includes a special jury prize from the Sundance Film Festival, winning an Honorable Mention Student Emmy®. He also won an Honorable Mention in the Freshest Youth Awards Show at the Hip Hop Odyssey International FilmFestival (2004) for his film, "Hip-Hop and Violence." Terrence also enrolled in the PRO-TV Advanced program and works as a DJ and produces music for underground hip-hop labels.

Daniel, 18, grew up in the Brooklyn's Atlantic Terminal City housing project. Three of his friends have been killed by gun violence. The films Daniel has made as a PRO-TV student at Downtown Community Television have won numerous prestigious awards including a Student Emmy® for his biographical film, "State of Mind: Living in the Projects." Danny also won an Honorable Mention/National Student Television Award of Excellence (Student Emmy®) for "Jai-Yen: Cool Heart," his film on his experiences during an international reporting assignment in Laos. Daniel has distinguished himself among the thousands of youth filmmakers in the country and he is the most honored youth producer in the U.S. Danny has recently graduated from Claflin University, in South Carolina, where he is studying Mass Communications having been awarded a prestigious Emma Bowen Foundation four-year scholarship. During the summer, Danny earned a coveted internship at the NBC affiliate for the duration of his college years. Danny says: "Before this (PRO-TV) I didn’t feel like I had any power to change my environment. Before this I didn’t feel like I had a voice. Now I know I have a voice."
