It’s inspired by true events and will show how predators use social media to lure vulnerable teens into their lair. Maya is being produced and funded by Verdin’s Artists for Change—a non-profit with a mission to create entertainment driving social change—in association with Robert Craig Films, Rough Diamond Productions and Fibonacci Films. Verdin, Jason Piette, Robert Craig, Sean Acosta and Morris S. Levy are producing, with John Jacobs, Lucy Lewis, Kim Robson, Victoria Hill, Greg Clark, John and Jet Lewis, John Manly, Tara Smith, Julian Lennon, Luanne Morrow and Tom Wallerstein exec producing.
“Trafficking is the second biggest criminal activity in America today,” said Verdin. “Our goal with Artists for Change is to educate through film and prevent teenagers and our youth from being trafficked.”
Verdin is a writer, director and producer with over 30 years in the business who previously wrote and directed the award-winning child trafficking film Angie: Lost Girls, which premiered on the Lifetime Channel and is available on a host of streaming platforms. She became emotionally connected to the cause of fighting for justice for helpless girls and boys trapped in an endless cycle of crime after volunteering at a runaway children’s shelter and meeting teenage survivors of trafficking.
