History

Our founder joined the film industry as a young actor, replete with dreams and visions of a successful career. However, through national and international travel, our founder decided to take action and help find solutions to worldwide issues such as:

  • Poverty
  • Mental illness
  • Environmental degradation
  • Lack of education.

Thus, an entertainment company was born to serve a higher purpose and to bring value to community stakeholders.
