JEFFCO PRODUCTION'S PRODUCER BIO:
Alyce Morris Winston is the founder and CEO of the Jeffrey Foundation which was established in 1972 to provide care for special needs children. The non-profit organization, named in honor of her disabled son Jeffrey, who suffered from muscular dystrophy and developmental disabilities, was one of the first specialized child care facilities in the country. Using both established and experimental therapeutic and learning programs, some created by Alyce and some introduced to her by various care providers who attended to Jeffrey, its’ pioneering programs are now licensed and recognized in the Los Angeles area and ready to be adapted, across the country, through Special Child USA.
Jeffco Productions was founded in 1981, to produce educational and informative programs about The Jeffrey Foundation for training purposes, community exchanges and television broadcast. Since that time it has aired its own public access television show entitled “Special Child,” created PSA’s with high profile celebrities, and has had feature presentations nationally syndicated. Additionally, in association with FreshI Film, The Jeffrey Foundation presented a two week summer camp to produce high school student film shorts. The two week, six-part class sessions covered story development, equipment instruction, on-the-set and post production techniques. All of its’ students had mental and/or physical challenges.
