Help keep the momentum going.
Nothing to See Here: Help is a pass-through entity that supports filmmaker led/associated nonprofits doing work in the community.
Founded by Sherine Ebadi and Mark Kirunchyk, its one-day missions rebuild bedrooms for at-risk children — bed, desk, paint, everything — side by side with local police officers. 600 children across 29 cities since 2015.
A church in the heart of Watts — a food ministry that feeds hundreds, Friday family youth nights, a safe place off the street. Pastor Jose Hernandez was raised here and came back to serve.
Founded in 1996 by LaWanda Hawkins, after her only son Reggie was murdered at 19. Thirty years of standing with families of homicide victims — support, advocacy, and the refusal to let unsolved cases go quiet.
Founded in 2019 by the Watts-born rapper and composer Brandon “Stix” Salaam-Bailey to uplift his own community — weekly food distribution, financial literacy, coding and entrepreneurship programs, sports, and environmental justice work.
Founded by Johnny Coughlin, it flies Watts students — Celeste Garnica, Emily Avalos, Meryland Gonzalez, and Tyrone Riley Jr. among them — to Boston each spring: college tours, mentors, scholarships, and a trauma fund for victims of crime and homelessness. A bridge between two cities, built by this film’s family.
Youth programs that pair LAPD officers with the kids of Watts — the Watts Rams among them — organized around academics, life skills, health, safety, and service. Rebuilding trust between community and law enforcement, one season at a time.
Founded by Tyrone Riley Sr. — the Jordan High basketball coach whose players graduate at 100% — with fellow filmmaker Cornelius Wills, empowering Watts youth through education, athletics, scholarships, and personal development. First Youth Summit: August 28, 2026.
