We are a mission-based media production company that wants to enable big change. We help creators and organizations craft media that translates ideas into impact. Our best collaborations are values-based projects that take “this is how it’s always been done” and turn it into “this is what we can and should do”.

Producing Philosophy
Our producing philosophy is evolving, and will continue to do so. Here are some of the things we look for when engaging new storytellers and narratives:
- Historically excluded and marginalized groups
- Unknown, undertold, and suppressed narratives
- Social justice narratives
- Desire for social impact beyond the stage or screen
- New, original works, that are not derivative
- Stories that mess around with history, mythology, language, and time
