We'll Teach You How
LIKE US Academy helps students and schools prevent bullying while they learn filmmaking, win prizes and recognition, and make a positive social impact.
❶ Be LIKE US
Take your first course to learn why we created our award-winning, independent, social impact film, LIKE US – a film for kids, by kids – and how you can help inspire a message of acceptance and belonging.
❷ Learn From Us
Choose a scene from LIKE US that you would like to re-create. Then take our custom filmmaking scene study course to learn how and why we created it and what message it may have for others.
❸ Send To Us!
Follow our guide or do it your way – create and upload your own version of your chosen scene to learn filmmaking, share messages of acceptance, and enter it into the next round of our LIKE US Awards competition.

Safe Space Support Checklist
We believe harassment and bullying should never be tolerated, and that our schools and communities should always strive to be a safe place for all students. We encourage students, staff, and parents to report all incidents of harassment and bullying so that the school can address them before the situation escalates. Please consult with your parents, teachers, and administration for support. These resources may help.
