Our goal - to challenge. Our hope - to inspire.
We have watched movies document our history and culture, educate and open our minds, give testament to man's technical and creative intellect, entertain us, inspire us, caution us, chastise us, remind us of our greatest potentials, and without skipping a beat, define our limitations. In this ever-changing world of fast technology and faster gratification, there is a great need to challenge what we perceive in everyday life.
During the past five-year journey, we have strove to challenge the world's perspectives and hoped to inspire imaginations through the storytelling art of motion pictures. At its core, our first feature film, Morning Glory, defies stereotypes and shows the intertwined journeys of two spirited young people who find the courage to overcome fear and deep tragedy to rediscover the indelible power of the human spirit. It is our goal that this film and future films to follow will continue the incredible legacy of motion pictures and their ability to provoke and inspire.
