GENISUS
In late 2007, Soul Sanctuary and Spoke Inward Creative Consulting teamed up as executive producers of an exciting broadcast
venture -- GenIsUs: Revitalized Teen Talk!
This 30-minute program featured teens from the Greater Philadelphia area as hosts and interviewers, tackling tough and
entertaining topics about the issues that matter to them most. The reason behind the name of the show is simple: these young
people represent the next generation of critical thinkers and doers among us, and they are unafraid to be opinionated and
ask difficult questions of the adults who are currently in positions of power.
Originally aired on Comcast Digital Cable Channel 80, Monday through Sunday at 3:30 pm, Season Two of the program was
cut short when Comcast unexpectedly shut down all of their public affairs programming. We are always looking for new broadcast
and corporate partners to continue providing this valuable resource for our area's young people, so please contact us directly
if you'd like to join us in this effort.

UNSUNG!
Fresh off of the heels of our successful debut documentary NO SUCH THING AS NEOSOUL, Soul Sanctuary was hard at work
on capturing footage for our next film project...a detailed look through the eyes of celebs at the demands of producing meaningful
soul music in an ever-morphing music industry titled UNSUNG.
We had an opportunity to sit and chat with outstanding talent like Lina, Lalah Hathaway, Rahsaan Patterson, Will Downing
and Mint Condition. We shot live performances with Me'shell NdegeOcello, Eric Roberson, Goapele, Julie Dexter and Anthony
David. We turned our cameras on at open mics and other live events to capture the true spirit of making music -- for the love
and for a living.
Next in our UNSUNG series is an interview with soulful crooner WILL
DOWNING, as we stand amid photographic portraits of a traveling exhibit of his work in Fall 2005. We chat with Will
about his earnest acceptance of his role as a vocalist who is unafraid to "act his age" and represent a more mature, adult
sound in his music. We also joke about his sex appeal, what it's like to be one of the only baritones left in popular music
and who inspires his songwriting.
