CHICAGO (WLS) — A West Side non-profit, Luv City, is helping teens from all over Chicago get engaged to help reduce violence by introducing them to media production.
Luv City founder Andre Rodriguez spent time in prison, and after his release, he wanted to connect with his son and more young people in the community to make a difference.
“All these young people are on the phone. How do we get into the phone,” Rodriguez said during an interview on ABC7. “And I figured out a way by creating content,” Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez gained traction after teaching himself to shoot music videos on his cell phone; that’s when he created Luv City.
