All Eyes On Teenz
Pazzaz is the executive producer of the All Eyez On Teenz television
show. All Eyez On Teenz showcases inner city youth and gives
them the opportunity to dispel the stereotypical images often
portrayed of them by the media.
All Eyez On Teenz is a 30-minute community access television
show created for teens and by teens. Teens determine each
show's topic and identify guests. Over 125 of these shows have been televised. The program is in a talk-show
format, where teens interview guests and field questions from
the audience. All Eyez On Teenz is a non-scripted, unrehearsed,
and usually unedited program.
There are many benefits to being a member of All Eyez On
Teenz. Some of these are: meeting business, community, and
political leaders; discussing issues relevant to teens' present
and future endeavors; gaining a broader understanding business,
community, and national issues, hands-on training in operating
camera and other equipment; and learning the inner workings
of television production. More importantly, the teens gain
a stronger sense of self-confidence and learn to express their
views in a positive manner. The teen members must also commit to 20 hours per year for community service, including feeding the hungry, voter registration drive, school clean ups, etc.
Since
the program's first telecast in January, 1996, All Eyez On
Teenz has been host to over 80 shows, and interviewed a variety
of guests. Because of their commitment to the quality of the
show, All Eyez On Teenz formed a board of directors to better
organize and manage the show. The board of directors is responsible
for scheduling monthly member meetings, planning fundraising
events, monitoring the conduct of teen hosts, and editing
the show if needed.
