About Us

With over 15  years in production experience, founder Jamal Simmons has worked with some of the best and brightest in the industry.  You can find his creativity at work throughout a wide range of projects: advertising campaigns for Subway, Zaxby's, and the Weather Channel; series television such as Growing Up Hip Hop and Love & Hip Hop; and documentary tributes to Heavy D, Ray Charles by the Grand Ole Opry and Soul Train Creator, Don Cornelius.  It is through these varied experiences that Jamal learned the value of having a good work ethic, displaying professionalism and developing the subtle art of business etiquette whether it's on set, negotiating with clients or working with other industry professionals. These skills have placed him on the short list of high demand technical professionals in an industry that is not only competitive but relies heavily on this experience.
