about.

Our Work.

Our mission is to curate and elevate the best material with underrepresented collaborators, to start meaningful conversations in uncomfortable ethical and moral spaces.

No matter what form or genre the material lands on our desks, we strive to find the most meaningful expression of the important underlying themes.

 

We approach each project in a thoughtful, investigative way in order to make stories and characters more specific and, ironically, more universal. Our varied upbringing and backgrounds have prepared us to think about material in a multifaceted way.

 

Life is short — so we always want to form authentic connections with writers, directors, designers, artists, and executives who share our passion.

 

Collectively, CAP has delivered over $200 million dollars of television in addition to projects in the feature space

 

Together we use the incredible cultural power of film, television, and media to spark meaningful, socially conscious conversations with active participation of marginalized communities and the unexplored schools of thought they bring to our projects.
