LOS ANGELES (CBS) — At an age when some kids can’t get into movies, Gerry Orz, 10, is making them.

Orz was 9 when he produced an anti-bullying movie. Besides garnering interest in the San Gabriel Valley school district where he lives — with his two mothers and brother – the movie has also gotten interest from the state of Illinois.

Orz (he says “everyone calls me G”) said he was bullied a lot when he was younger and he decided to produce the movie to help other kids who are being picked on.

He told CBS2 and KCAL9 reporter Christy Fajardo that he wants to change the world — one act of kindness at a time.

Most of the anti-bullying videos in circulation, he feels, preach to kids and lecture. And he maintains, no kid wants to pay attention to that. So he decided to go a more visual route.

    This child is NO CHILD. He has seen a real problem and addressed it as an adult.

    He is trying make a better world.

    More power to him

    Even though he is a child producing an anti-bulling video: which is awesome, there are a couple of things that are hard for me to look past:



    1. Seems like those educational videos about sex that schools use to make you watch, more so than a tv series.



    2. The camera work is excellent, but the writing and acting seems too cliche: sure it needs to truly represent the world of bullying, but it seems so cliche that it feels fictional at the same time.



    3. He got the mentality of a bully down, at least I think: but it's an extreme mentality that doesn't come off as true for me, for some reason or another.



    Take care,

    Just my thoughts.

    I just watched the first episode only - it's good quality and... touching.
    Can't wait to watch the nest; plenty of good morals in the story.

    And to think, all done by a 10 year old. A child prodigy maybe. :)
