San Gabriel Boy, 10, Creates Buzz With Anti-Bullying Film He Wrote, Produced
LOS ANGELES (CBS) — At an age when some kids can’t get into movies, Gerry Orz, 10, is making them.
Orz was 9 when he produced an anti-bullying movie. Besides garnering interest in the San Gabriel Valley school district where he lives — with his two mothers and brother – the movie has also gotten interest from the state of Illinois.
Orz (he says “everyone calls me G”) said he was bullied a lot when he was younger and he decided to produce the movie to help other kids who are being picked on.
He told CBS2 and KCAL9 reporter Christy Fajardo that he wants to change the world — one act of kindness at a time.
Most of the anti-bullying videos in circulation, he feels, preach to kids and lecture. And he maintains, no kid wants to pay attention to that. So he decided to go a more visual route.
