-I have been known to hire people in the past, but its mostly just me and friends who help me out when I am in a jam.
My target audience would be university students and cinephiles(I.E. fans of the genre)
The industry it is for is the non broadcast, non corporate media section of arts.
Vision:
Greater cultural giving through the arts.
Mission:
Making art for people to transcend everyday life through the entertainment you watch read or listen to.
Values:
Counter culture can sometimes be defined as unproductive, we offer as an integral pieces of work. An in your face look at some of the things our artist finds offensive on TV and in people, offering strong pieces with integrity and justified through a blue collar work ethic and a school of hard knocks.

BIO:
​
I started off as a comic book artist for an Australian woman named Kathy September, did odd jobs in the film industry after in bc... production designed an indie feature named "shattered souls", which got me a role in "heads are gonna roll" opposite Brinke Stevens in a Vince d'Amato film... eventually getting grants to make my own shorts and experimental features through bc arts council, cineworks, main film co- op, the natonal film board and calq along with a film core grant from new york city and a whole lot of elbow grease I made "goin ape" where I act and direct/edit and wrote, as a loser who you want to punch out. I continue to maintain creative control of my film paintings music photos writings as per stipulations of my grants(that are impossible to get) and have been known to take an odd photograph, or animation cartoon.
