Our narrative continues to evolve from the written word to the camera lens to visual and aural mediums of the large and small screen. It takes many minds to create art so it’s vital that our spirits engage and connect so that we can bring our collective stories to life. It also takes knowledge and experience to bring a message to its intended audiences. But even at 25 years of telling tales large and small, our artistry moves us forward, adding to the collective of the human experience. Life is art and art is life in motion, so we continue to do that with everyone we meet and play with.
