Communities in Schools of Los Angeles Partners with PASSERINE to Produce First-Ever Brand Film

Communities in Schools of Los Angeles connect students with caring adults and community resources to help them excel in school, overcome personal and socio-emotional challenges, and live full and successful lives. The goal of the film is to get more eyes on the program with the hopes of securing donations and community partners while igniting excitement around their mission.
Leading the way conceptually and in production, PASSERINE was able to unite the Los Angeles Film Community, drawing them to donate their time and talents to the cause. Entire studios, cranes, cameras, catering, personnel, editing, coloring, and more were donated thanks to the orchestration of the agency.
The film, titled “TUG,” narrates a visually cinematic tale where children pull against external challenges in a surreal tug-of-war to beat the odds and achieve their wildest dreams. “TUG” premiered in May 2024 at Communities in Schools of Los Angeles’ annual gala and will live on their website and social channels.
PASSERINE’s joy-led creativity, thoughtful strategy, and humanity-focused approach were instrumental in making this project a success. We are honored to have had the opportunity to bring this vision to life and support such a meaningful cause.

Author Denise A. Powis’s New Book, “Just be Yourself and No One Else!” Follows Three Punctuation Marks Who Try to Change Who They Are But Simply Cause Confusion

In 2005, author Denise Powis received a bachelor of science degree from Empire State College, and she has worked for many years in the helping professions as a certified nursing assistant, home health aide, and substitute teacher for special education classes. At the present time, she teaches a Bible study/support group for women. In 1979, she won a 17 Islands National sailboat race.
In “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!”, readers are introduced to a period, an exclamation point, and a question mark who all long for a change of pace and decide to switch places one day. However, they soon discover they are not well suited for performing their new roles, and decide that they were made perfect for their original purpose.
Published by Hawes & Jenkins Publishing, Denise A. Powis’s engaging tale will delight readers of all ages as they discover the importance of accepting one’s self and being true to who they really are. With colorful artwork and a powerful life lesson, “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!” will help boost confidence amongst young readers, leaving a lasting impression long after the final page.
Readers who wish to experience this riveting work can purchase “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Why Music Matters—Especially in Later Life

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.
Inside the Community Spirit
“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”
How to Buy the Book—and Support Local Charities
The coffee-table style book is priced at £15. Copies can be purchased by contacting any of the five homes directly; card payments can be taken over the phone and books can be posted. A portion of every sale will be donated to local charities.
