Shared Roots
Friends, collaborators, and fellow storytellers we love working alongside.
The Forest Around Us
It’s not just about the team behind our projects. It’s also the support, the network of people who help us, those we collaborate with and build with. We believe in lifting up our peers and those who love to build with us.
Some of the best moments are those when we get to collaborate with our friends, meet up in person instead of meeting through a zoom box, and share time with. Actors, writers, directors, artists, and all other creatives we share a space with.
