Cosmos
Productions Studio will be digital film and television production
facility that will produce low to medium budgeted film, television,
and documentary projects as well as music videos, commercials and
industrial films. Initially a one sound stage studio, the five year
plan is to expanded it to a four sound stage facility and
distribution hub for the domestic, foreign, and ancillary markets.
Whereas the large established studios focus on producing big budget
projects, Cosmos Productions Studio will go back to the concept of
producing low to medium budgeted projects that spread the financial
risk among many projects. One hundred fifty million can produce one
tent pole film or produce and distribute 20 low to medium budget
projects. It is the difference between one role of the dice and
mitigating the risk by spreading it across 20. Within that financial
pool of films some will fail, some will breakeven, but some will make
a profit.
Cosmos
Productions Studio proposes combine the best of the old school with
the modern technologies to create a more financially stable business
model. Based on the concept originally created by D. W. Griffith,
Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks with United
Artists, Cosmos Productions Studio intents to once again pull
together the talent of producers, directors, actors, and crew, who
want to take back their independence by having more financial and
creative control of their careers. By working together and combining
their skills, they will be able to produce and distribute projects
that are based on diversity of gender, age and ethnic backgrounds.
Women and minorities will gain equality in the industry by achieving
strong leadership and decision making roles. It is this inclusive
business model that will attract the creatives with good business
sense.

Horses
and Heroes is an unscripted TV series, which combines the highly
effective Peer Support Therapy with Equine Therapy. Unlike most in
the genre, it will focus on healing and positive growth rather than
endorsing bad behavior. Each season will bring together veterans
from WWII to the current conflicts. They will be sharing their
challenges and supporting each other as they find new solutions to
their physical and emotional challenges. They know the talk,
because they have walked the walk. They see the dodges and will be
able to call each other on them. Sparks may fly. Tempers may flare,
especially when they force each other to face their ghosts. But
there will also be laughter and fun as they rebuild the comradery,
which kept them safe and strong. The snarkiness and practical jokes
between the branches doesn't simply end. There is always room for
just one more. When it airs, it will reach into the homes of the
veterans, who need to hear that they are not alone, and give them
information as well as permission they need to also heal. They will
help each other find their way back to the world. Veterans can’t
go back and make a brand new start; but they can start from now and
make a brand new end.

forgiveness and second chances.

find for himself. Through a series of coincidences several others

close to exposing a truth that many powerful people at home and
abroad would do whatever it takes to keep hidden. When slander and
