ARE YOU an American age 19 to 25 with an interesting story to tell? Help us comprehend your generation's perspective.

New Savvy Productions is actively seeking documentary interviewees and participants 19-25 who have a story to tell – their past, their present, and their future expectations.

We're capturing a broad range of lifestyles, backgrounds, interests, and economic standings for this documentary, and we are traveling the country to meet insightful young adults.

This documentary will explore the joys, fears, trials and successes of a generation who, ready or not, is about to stake its claim in a nation known for “The American Dream.”

CONDUCTING INTERVIEWS
across the nation and tracing the arc of key stories as they unfold, our ambitious goal is to reveal the collective voice of 22 million young Americans as this new generation aspires to make a life, and a name, in an increasingly competitive society; or at the very least, to capture a revealing cross-section of perspectives.

Demographers haven't entirely settled on a label for the generation born from 1981 through 2000. “New Boomers,” “Millennials,” and “Generation Y” are common references. The young adults from this generation have known sophisticated technology and media for virtually their entire lives. A society that moves fast, demands immediacy, and relishes a smorgasbord of never-ending information and entertainment, has surely shaped a new reality that may be all but disconnected from the living standard and experiences of previous generations.

The documentary is focused on persons aged 19 through 25 – the range largely considered “college aged” whether one is a student or not. This demographic particularly embodies the living phenomenon of this generation as they gain increasing independence, productivity, success, or frustration. They are evolving into adults in the wake of a financial collapse, a currently struggling economy, a highly polarized stalemate among American politics, and a media-driven culture that makes commerce of everything imaginable, and seems to expect that individuals reveal themselves openly and continually online.

It's a big subject invoking an almost overwhelming series of questions:

  • What will the adult-life experience be for this young generation; who are they now, and who do they expect to become?

  • What aspects of their youth will inform their lives as adults?

  • What lessons will they take from previous generations?

  • Will the digital age ultimately undermine or emboldened their humanity?

Perhaps most essentially, will this generation make a better life, a better world, a better society, in spite of countless challenges to income, economy, and environment?
