Exposing needs and inspiring hope through the art of story
Athentikos is a non-profit creative organization that inspires hope through the art of story. Scott & Amelia Moore, along with a team of local creatives, started Athentikos in 2008 as a way to give back to Guatemala, the birth country of their two adopted sons. Scott Moore is a video producer and Amelia Moore is a photographer. They took three trips to Guatemala in 2009 / 2010 with a team of creatives who volunteered their time to produce the feature-length documentary, ‘Reparando’. The film was released in 2010.
In 2011, Athentikos was established as non-profit 501(c)3 and began pre-production for a second film project ‘Becoming Fools’, which will is scheduled to be completed in late 2012.
Athentikos is supported by all those who give and volunteer their skills and expertise, all in an effort to see the art of story inspire and mobilize people in a way that changes lives!
