OUR COMPASS

Ark is guided by our "two by two" principles. Ark's goal is to provide works that are creative and visionary and that strive to enhance the moral and spiritual fabric of society. We don't follow one without the other. Ark creates, acquires, develops, and produces both motion pictures and occasional live performances that raise the consciousness of the public. We believe the power of this mission is what keeps us buoyant.

WHO BUILT THE ARK?

Ark Productions was established on January 1, 2003. In the short time between our first project and the present, Ark has produced two short films: Elevate and A Modern Day Western. Ark has also produced several commercials for local businesses including Dynamic Spa and Lefetiche. Ark has three feature film projects in development and set for production in 2005.
