"Far Myst" is an original and exciting adventure story
for both kids and adults. Based on a book series
written by Michael Di Certo, it follows a young boy on
a journey to a fantastical land in search of a cure for
his terminally ill grandmother. He finds himself in the midst of a war. The reluctant hero must use his strong imagination to help defeat an evil dragon warlord who
captures and imprisons children.
The film starts in a boring, gray, colorless town. Then
the young protagonist discovers a magical land full
of colorful characters and scenery. This is a dramatic
and heartwarming story about the power of imagination and how it can help one achieve the seemingly impossible tasks.
"BISESERO"is a feature film about the incredible true story of the 1994 Rwanda genocide of the Tutsi, told through the eyes of the daughter of a local hero
turned leader. An inspirational tale about family, courage, community, and resistance.
Our client is the execution producer on this project, which is very personal to him as he is married to a survivor from Eastern Rwanda. This is the first feature
film that provides an authentic account of the tragic events because it is written, produced and directed
by a team of Nigerian and Rwandan filmmakers.
It is scheduled to go into production in 2024. Here is

"GROOMED" is based on an incredible true story of
an art student that stumbles upon a human trafficking operation. Not only is he shocked by the horror of this
modern day slavery, but things literally hit home when
he discovers from the FBI investigation, that his own mother is involved...causing a moral dilemma.
Tormented and distraught by this knowledge, he is
still compelled to help the FBI, in order to stop this unimaginable crime.
"Erika & Miro" is a love story between two creative
and independent women in the 1930's, during a time
of war and political divide. A historical drama series,
it follows the journey of two androgynous fashion
icons, both from wealthy and famous parents. While
they do share a lot in common and are drawn to each other, their lives take very different paths: one is a
writer and photographer and the other is a political activist against Nazi Germany.
Both are world travelers and they continue to run
in the same social circles. The love and attraction
for each other is undeniable, but due to various
circumstances and events, they both end up with different partners and spouses. This is a heartbreaking yet fascinating story filled with themes of passion,
love, freedom, and female empowerment.
"LEECH" is a psychological horror film that explores the toxic dynamics of two lifelong friends. It depicts both physical as well as mental transformations.
The tone and setting is dark and eerie against a backdrop of beautiful wilderness and lake in Minnesota.
"INFINITE"is a 2D animated fantasy, sci-fi action/adventure series, created and written
by Marc J. Sylvester, from Holland and who
was one of our first international clients!

who must save the love of his life from death,
by using his gifted weapon that has an infinite
amount of power for those who wield it.
The setting is similar but an alternate version
of Earth in which magic, magical creatures
and aliens live in the shadows of this universe.
The first season takes place in Japan and the South American rainforest, but throughout the series, the main characters travel to incredible places and fight against mutated samurai, ninjas, and other creatures.

commentators, podcasters, social media sleuths who
consistently follow along and provide their input and theories.
"Womb to Tomb"is a docuseries which explores the customs, rituals, and beliefs of birth and death in various cultures around the world. The series will include interviews with community leaders and experts in spirituality to examine the psychology behind different belief systems.
During each episode, a host will acquaint the audience with a different region and reveal its cultural traits and charms of their people. Families each share their experience with welcoming a new baby and enduring the loss of a loved one. It is an intimate view of their story, background, and encounter with either birth or death.

RETAIL DESIGN PROJECTS
scroll down
C.O. Bigelow - Columbus, OH
Prototype store located at
Easton Town Center in Columbus, OH. Apothecary design that carried Bath and Body Works product and third party brands. This location also included a
Spa, Perfumerie, and demo sinks.
This started as the flagship store for
Bath and Body Works; then Les Wexner,
(CEO for L Brands), fell in love with the apothecary concept and bought the rights to the C.O. Bigelow name....2 weeks before store turnover! In order to stay on schedule and still open on time, two crews and two superintendents had to be managed.
This project is still considered one of Grace's career highlights. It was fun, exciting, challenging, and her first large construction project!
Galyan's (now Dick's Sporting Goods)
Little known fact: L Brands previously owned Galyan's, which was purchased by
and converted to Dick's Sporting Goods.
Customers flocked to this store for its iconic climbing wall, and wide selection
of merchandise. It was a two-story outdoor/indoor retail space that had something for everyone....from athletic wear and gear, to hunting, fishing, and skiing.
The first floor was distinctly different from the upper level. It was designed with sleek and modern fixtures and metal finishes, including the iconic bear logo on its fitting room doors.
The upper floor housed hunting, fishing, skiing, and camping products for the outdoorsmen/woman. The custom fixtures were primarily made of wood and hand painted murals on the corner focal walls, helped to call out the categories.
Jos. A. Bank - Nationwide locations

built within existing and open store environments; rollout to 150 stores located nationwide. Three general contractors and a delivery/install crew.

Victoria's Secret - Nationwide locations
Visual displays and props were produced for all Victoria's Secret themed floor sets. Holiday was the most challenging and extensive to manage. This included both 2D and 3D elements for the storefront windows, architectural transition spaces, and VS Beauty areas.
Holiday visual elements included such items as real garland with white flocking, mini presents, and bows; paper "dollhouses" for the storefront window displays; and topper for the fragrance bar in the beauty department. There are also the iconic angel wings (on mannequins) ...named after the models in the fashion show to distinguish each style.
Keds - Columbus, OH
New prototype store designed for
Stride Rite/Keds corporation by
Chute Gerdeman. It was located in
Polaris Mall in Columbus, OH.
Exterior entry had awnings and logo that simulated the same materials as the iconic white tennis show w/blue logo on the back heel.
The challenge for this project was designing capacity fixtures to go in such
a small space and still allow customer circulation. Custom fixtures were designed to be flexible/movable, and large lifestyle graphics reinforced the Keds brand messaging.
Target Ringwood Square - Ringwood,
Victoria, Australia
Updated prototype for Target Australia, featured in VMSD, Sept 1995. The design mission was to review all aspects of store design and create a revised store prototype suited for customers, operations and strategic requirements for "Target Tomorrow." Emphasis was put on the need to enhance customer communications.
The roundel (Target icon/bullseye) was incorporated in shapes and architecture throughout the store and to help customers navigate via graphic way finding elements.
Existing fixtures were utilized but new identifiers (i.e. gondola toppers) were created. We also provided a Design Standards Manual for use in future stores with this new design.
