Introducing
The Live Beyond the Screen Assembly
Real Life > Reel Life is built to feel like an experience, not a lecture. Talmage uses music, live interaction, humor, stories, and simple science so students can see what screens are replacing and why it matters.

▶
Games and stories
Interactive moments keep students engaged while the message stays practical and memorable.
✓
Real talk
Students hear clear language about comparison, distraction, FOMO, cyberbullying, and connection without feeling attacked.
Imagine This A Few Weeks From Now
The goal is not to tell schools their policies are broken. The goal is to help students understand the why behind those policies and bring the school and home conversation into the same language.
- Students understand the science behind screen habits and school and home electronic policies.
- Students walk in less distracted by group chats, comparison, FOMO, and cyberbullying drama.
- Teachers spend more energy teaching instead of repeatedly re-centering students after online conflict.
- Parents get take-home frameworks that make screen conversations calmer and more consistent.
- Administrators get a shared message that supports focus, regulation, and real connection.
A Better Way Forward
The assembly is designed to support the good work schools are already doing while giving students and parents a clearer reason to buy in.
The old way
- One more lecture that students tune out.
- Parents feel guilty, students feel blamed, and nobody knows what to do next.
- Online drama keeps bleeding into attention, mood, and learning.
- Staff feel like they are reacting to symptoms instead of shifting the conversation.
The new way
- An assembly students actually pay attention to and remember.
- Clear science behind school and home electronic policies.
- Parents and schools using the same language after the event.
- Practical tools students can use when screens pull them away from real life.
Why it is free right now
A small launch group for Utah schools
Normally, schools pay thousands of dollars for speakers like this. For a limited time, Talmage is offering the assembly free to a handful of Utah junior highs and high schools while collecting feedback, testimonials when deserved, and real case-study proof.
- No speaking fee for selected Utah schools.
- We ask for honest feedback after the assembly.
- If the experience earns it, we may ask for a testimonial and permission to use your school story as a case study.
This is intentionally limited so Talmage can personally support each school and gather meaningful feedback.

Who Should Apply?
If you are a principal, assistant principal, counselor, teacher, or someone who knows one in Utah, this is built for schools that already see how home screen habits, social media drama, cyberbullying, and constant online pressure bleed into the school day.
A
Your policies may already be solid
This assembly does not assume phones are running the school. It helps students understand why electronic policies matter at school and at home.
B
The problem follows students into class
Even with strong phone policies, students still arrive distracted by group chats, social media pressure, comparison, FOMO, and online conflict.
Real results and proof
What Schools Are Responding To
The assembly gives administrators, parents, and students a shared language for what is happening, why it matters, and what to do next.
The distracted-by-home-screen-life campus
Before: students come to school carrying the previous evening screen habits, social media stress, and online drama. After: students have a better framework for focus, comparison, and real connection.
The parent-school alignment problem
Before: parents and schools are trying to solve the same issue with different language. After: the assembly and parent night give everyone a clearer, calmer way to talk about screens.
“Finally, something kids actually listened to. It was fun, but it hit deep.”
School feedback“Loved the take-home guide. It made the follow-up talks at home so much easier.”
Parent feedback“This felt like an experience, not a boring talk. People were laughing and learning at the same time.”
