As siblings, we have always been captivated by the world of film and cinema. From adrenaline-pumping blockbusters and heroic sagas to heartfelt romantic comedies and intense thrillers, we immersed ourselves in it all. However, as we grew older, the veil was lifted, and we began to witness the darkness lurking beneath the surface of the entertainment industry—an awakening that would change everything.

We learned of the perverse realities behind the scenes of some of Hollywood's most famous films, and we found ourselves fast-forwarding through scenes, horrified by the evil woven into the content. The industry's relentless push to impose agendas—forcing ideologies down our throats—was evident. It was painful and discouraging to realize that the very thing we once loved had been hijacked, twisted, and distorted by the sinister forces shaping our modern society. What was once a space of creative storytelling had become a breeding ground for perversion and evil, all aimed at manipulating our minds and poisoning our hearts with demonic ideologies and toxic seeds.

For a time, we were at a loss—how could we reconcile our passion for film with the overwhelming need to protect our hearts and minds from the toxicity that had overtaken the industry? It felt like the very industry we loved had turned against us. But that frustration birthed a resolve.

As time went on, the Lord began to stir something deep within us—a vision of a need this generation was not only hungry for but desperate to see fulfilled. We began to sense the void, a profound longing for truth, authenticity, and hope that was missing from the narratives being told. We had glimpses of ideas, sparks of how we might be a part of this change, but the path forward was unclear. The seed had been planted by the Lord, but it wasn’t yet our time to act.
