Why Rise Media?

I feel there is a need for quality media in today’s society. Media has an enormous impact and influence on its audience and can be used as a tool to help people grow in a positive way. Too often, media in general (television, video games, movies, radio, art, etc.) is comprised of content void of spirit, morals, and ethics. Enter Rise Media, computer animated shorts with a powerful message.

 

The Journey

I have worked with major media companies such as Vivendi Universal, Sony, and Red Storm Entertainment. While I enjoyed working in media, I just couldn’t shake the fact that these companies were creating products that I didn’t spiritually believe in.

 

In searching for my true purpose, I have begun an amazing journey. I have had the clarity to take a good look at my life, where it is headed, and how I impact others. It has become clear to me that I need to use my creative talent in computer animation to produce media that provides entertaining, ethical, moral, and spiritually uplifting content.
