THEY ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

A & B productions really helped my daughters learn about film making. When they were 8 and 10 years old they had a dream of making a very elaborate, hour-long movie featuring 20+ kids, but they didn't have the technical equipment or knowledge to make it happen. Nicole Butler came to the rescue, doing the filming and editing so my girls could concentrate on the script writing, acting, props, costumes, choreography, etc. By their fourth movie my daughters and their friends had learned enough to do the filming and editing on their own. Nicole was so proud when the kids reached this level of independence! Over the years they also enjoyed being on A & B's cable tv show "Voices of Our Youth" and being in a couple of films. I can't even begin to estimate how many hours of positive, worthwhile, goal-oriented activities my daughters and so many of their friends have enjoyed, thanks to A & B Productions. A lot of people SAY they want to see young people involved in positive activities. A & B Productions actually DOES something about it! Karen Stinson

DETERMINATION & VIGOR

I am writing this letter in support of Nicole Butler and A&B Productions. Ms. Butler has tirelessly labored to create performance opportunities for community youth. Though sparse on resources, she has never allowed that to cease her movement for the cause. On a personal note, Ms. Butler came into our lives about seven years ago. My daughter, Quinci, aspired to be an entertainer, ideally on Broadway. Nicole availed her to occasions to take vocal lessons, perform with a troupe, act in movies, perform at local events and be seen by Hollywood agents. Ms. Butler’s efforts afforded chances for my child not to just dream, but see the possibilities become reality. Today, Quinci is a local favorite performer who has spread her wings into directing and writing. This month two of her original scripts will debut: one as a stage play in Philadelphia and the other starts shooting as a movie. Ms. Butler is committed to our youth and executes on their behalf with determination and vigor. Carla Spady

YOU ARE AWESOME WITH KIDS

I was looking at the piece on the news and I wish I was closer to you, I truly believe that the arts would help so many children. Love how you work with the kids. We were in Atlanta and moved back to Florida and it is hard to find some good acting coaches. Thank you for what you do for the kids.
