The 18- to 24-year-old participants, mainly from Brownsville, Brooklyn, and the South Bronx, are paid $20 an hour.<\/p>\n<p>One of those teens, KJ Campbell, lost his father and two brothers to gun violence. The 19-year-old was also arrested in 2023 for illegal gun possession.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell says that while in jail, he realized he needed to change the course of his life, &#8220;I see how people in there talk, the way they move, I don&#8217;t wanna be like them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Soon after Campbell&#8217;s release from jail, he enrolled in &#8220;Flip the Script,&#8221; which sparked his passion for filmmaking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like this program could get me way far than I&#8217;m supposed to be \u2026 because I know I&#8217;ve got talent,&#8221; said Campbell. He now plans to pursue a career as a film director.<\/p>\n<p>Samantha Kleinfield, the Office of Criminal Justice&#8217;s executive director, created the program in 2021 to help combat gun violence.<\/p>\n<p>So far this year, 14% of shooting suspects in New York City are <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/morrisania-bronx-teenager-shot-to-death-evette-jeffrey-nypd\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">minors<\/a><\/span>, according to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, and 14% of all shooting victims are also under the age of 18.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were looking at innovative ways to address the rising gun violence and gang violence in New York City,&#8221; said Kleinfield. &#8220;Filmmaking is seen as the transformative power of the arts to be able to process the trauma that a lot of these kids have experienced.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Entertainment industry professionals mentor the participants and teach them hard and soft skills needed to launch their careers.<\/p>\n<p>One of the mentors, Aaron Jones, urges his mentees to adopt a new mindset: &#8220;It&#8217;s cool to be positive and to do something with your life, instead of just throwing it away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 12-person crew is expected to finish their project this summer \u2014 a short film about gun violence that will premiere at a movie theater and be entered into next year&#8217;s Tribeca Film Festival.<\/p>\n<p>The office aims to establish a pipeline that leads from the program to full-time jobs. Since its inception in 2021, over 60 people have graduated from the program and 70% of them are still employed.<\/p>\n<p>Kleinfield has an even bigger vision for the participants long term, saying, &#8220;I want to see them at the Academy Awards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/jared-ochacher\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Jared  Ochacher<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Jared Ochacher covers national breaking news at CBS News.
