Oprah Winfrey – Purpose Film
“Raised in horribly oppressive circumstances, Oprah Winfrey lived a childhood that most people wouldn’t be able to bear. When one tragedy too many struck, Winfrey ran away from her hometown in Mississippi to find her dad. What he told her upon their reunion changed the course of not just Oprah’s life…”

My fourth film for Brand New World Studios is all about Oprah Winfrey. Her incredibly powerful story of how she escaped horrible circumstances in her youth and navigated the challenges of trying to succeed in television as a black woman was very inspirational. Of course everyone knows who Oprah is when you see her, but people who weren’t super fans don’t really know her story. The key goal of telling this story was trying to hide the reveal of who the protagonist in the story was until the very end. By keeping the possibilities open and unexpected for most of the film, it shows how universal stories of struggle and the power of persistence are.
Little Miss Flint – Purpose Film
“When Flint, Michigan’s water became too toxic to drink, someone had to step up and do something about it. In this case, the first person to do so was a little girl named Mari Copeny better known as “Little Miss Flint.” Through the choice to stand up for her city when no one else would, Mari found her purpose.”

This is the third film in the series of purpose films that I have produced for Brand New World Studios in Atlanta. This was a fascinating story to tell because it shows the power that the voice of someone with a purpose can have, no matter how young or who you are.
Hershey’s Chocolate – Purpose Film
“What separates Hershey from every other chocolate and candy company? For Milton Hershey, it was Intentionality, commitment, and pride in the people who worked for him. The company’s founder has helped generations of people find their purpose.”

This is the second film I produced for Brand New World Studios. Based on a fantastic story of helping others instead of improving your bottom line, this film exemplifies the best of humanity.
Salvation Army – Purpose Film
“The Salvation Army’s guiding principle lies in one simple word. Its founder, General William Booth, had limited funds and limited time to send each of his 100 employees the purpose of the company. He managed to pull it off, and confirm his own purpose in the process.”

This film created a unique challenge because we wanted to tell an engaging story with great visuals, except there are few photographs from the time period in which the story takes place. To combat this, we decided to make this an animated film and recreate the miraculous event that occurred on Christmas Eve in 1910.
