Our Mission
We want to empower everyone with a dream to bring their wildest ideas to life through the power of human creativity, while telling our own stories at the same time. Our goal is to become better artists and storytellers ourselves, then to use the basis of our work to create a safe haven where creators and creators-to-be are empowered to reach the world with their art.
Our Values
These values guide us and our work.
-
Be the change.
To empower the world to create, we need to create something ourselves.
-
Creativity is human.
To preserve our mission, human creativity always takes priority over machines and automation.
-
Teamwork makes it work.
Collaboration is the best way a project of this scale - and the people behind it - can grow and thrive.
-
See the individual.
We respect each other and our boundaries for the people we are, not just what we do.
-
Fairness is for everyone.
We strive to treat each other and others with fairness.
-
Keep the gates open.
We share what we can and avoid gatekeeping wherever possible.
