2026 Teach to Empower @BCJPD
Partnering with Bexar County JPD to expose justice-impacted youth to the art and craft of filmmaking. It is an incredibly profound and rewarding experience. By empowering them to tell their own stories from behind the camera, we are equipping these brilliant young creators with the confidence and skills to beautifully rewrite their own futures.
About the Co-Founder and Executive Director.
Today, Hayden is driven by a strong desire to pass on the hard and valuable lessons he learned from the painful mistakes he made yesterday to help inspire youth to restore faith and trust in the communities of tomorrow.
Aside from his work building these youth programs for our local communities, he also moonlights as a teaching professional & photographer, conducting workshops all over the country for the Real Estate, Design and Home Staging Industry.
As a professional filmmaker, Hayden has been intimately involved in all aspects of film production in Paris, Los Angeles, Honolulu and Austin for 40 years, as a Producer, Director, Cinematographer, Art Director, Production Designer and Actor. For 6 of those years, he has also had the privilege of teaching Digital Film Production at the Art Institute of Austin.
He released his first feature documentary film, A Force in Nature: Jóhann Eyfells, which received "Best Documentary" prize at the 2017 Hill Country Film Festival in Fredericksburg, Texas and DIY Film Fest in Santa Monica, CA, and is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. His newest film project, American Voice is currently in production.
