Father - Son Filmmaking Duo Unites Across Coasts for Black History Month PSA, 'Kemet: One Nation, Many Journeys'
Joe Young and his son Kyle Young collaborate across generations, from childhood to filmaking for the Black History Month PSA "Kemet: One Nation, Many Journeys".
Joe Young and his son Kyle come together from Connecticut and California to create a powerful Black History Month PSA celebrating untity, family, and heritage.
Joe, based in Hartford, Connecticut, collaborated closely with Kyle, who works from Los Angeles, to bring the story of unity, heritage, and shared journeys to life through the lens of Kemet the Time Traveler, the educational character Joe created to inspire young audiences.
The PSA blends live-action cinematography at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island with high-impact animation to honor the generations of people—immigrants, descendants, and cultural communities—who shaped America.
A Special Father–Son Collaboration
Joe Young served as executive producer, director, and writer, while his son Kyle contributed as producer, and assistant director, and lead editor, building the film’s emotional rhythm, pacing, and modern visual style.
“Working with my son Kyle across two different cities felt like the perfect reflection of the message of this PSA,” said Joe Young. “Kemet is about connection, history, and unity. Collaborating with Kyle brought all of that full circle.”
Kyle, whose editorial work shaped the final narrative structure, emphasized how meaningful the project was from both a professional and personal lens.
“Being part of this PSA with my dad meant the world to me,” said Kyle Young. “Even though we were working from opposite sides of the country, the mission brought us together. We wanted to create something that inspires people to see our shared humanity, and I’m grateful we got to build that together.”
The PSA has been picked up by multiple broadcast affiliates nationwide and continues to expand its reach throughout February as part of a national Black History Month visibility campaign.
