How did we come to be?
Shawn Patrick Gianella is it's founder. He started working in the 80's with IATSE, behind the camera in TV and Films. Taking a liking to being in front of the camera, he took steps to follow that course.
His trek into Acting spanned almost 4 decades with Commercials, Films, Episodics, Modeling, Theater and Voiceovers. It wasn't until about 2009 that he went forward on his writing path. Events and situations that surrounded himself and others he knew. Especially when it came to matters of the Heart and relationships.
The next step came in 2020 just as the outbreak hit. The Production Company was to go forward with projects being written and developed. Needless to say, things were put on hold until a re-grouping of things fell back into place. Fast forward to 2025 with several projects
being finalized, Copyrighted and pressed into production.
