History
"If you can see it, you can be it”, a quote from the legendary Billie Jean King serves as a vibrant daily reminder for my company – I’m seeking to build the casts that I rarely saw on-screen growing up – kids that resembled myself and my siblings, or adults that looked like my father. If there were stories going untold for bi-racial families like mine then I knew that there were thousands of stories going by the wayside for many different families and individuals from all walks of life. I want to be a small piece of bringing those stories to the forefront of our film & television culture by bringing together brilliant actors with the writers, directors and producers on the search for the live versions of the characters that have previously only existed on the page. I want to provide an environment where everyone’s artistry & culture can be appreciated and respected - No mispronounced names, and all pronouns will be as preferred - and everyone can feel comfortable presenting their best work from their most authentic selves.
