WHO WE ARE
our mission
FILMMAKING
We love making movies and have been part of every aspect of production. We love making exciting Blockbuster movies with messages that will help improve the world. Starting from no-budgets, there's no part of making movies we haven't done.
ACTING
Acting is our passion. To dive into a character and really help bring a story to life is one of the greatest things in the world. We've been acting since we were kids and started making movies together to control how and when we tell stories.
PRODUCING
Throughout many years of making movies and various projects, we now know how to get any project done at any budget. Having our hands in all aspects of a production, including producing, allow us full control to ensure a smooth and fun production.
NOVELS
Devin has been writing since he was a kid. For our franchises, he likes to dive deep and write novels to really flesh out the worlds. His books are immersive, written not just from a storytelling but an acting perspective: real and full of emotion.

"OMG remind me to never ever take anxiety and depression meds 🤯 f**k drugs 🤐"
"Two thumbs up 👍.. wicked ass movie 👹"
"This was an insanely intense movie bro, phenomenal."
"A thought provoking movie."
"A thought provoking movie. It makes u wonder if that's exactly what is being done to ordinary people, in todays society... I think there is definitely some truth to it, actually...(imo).. a very well directed film & a superb cast... they did their job, by portraying believable realities , in their characters, among the roles & parts, they are playing... I, myself, give it four & a half , out of five stars.."
"Kept me hooked from the beginning to the end."
"The movie takes you on a suspenseful ride. It kept me hooked from the beginning to the end. It made me want to discuss it with someone lol. Just how at times it messes with your mind, but keeps you pulled in, trying to figure out what is going on. Overall Great film, acting, makeup special effects, and I can keep going on. I loved the Originality of this story which sadly some horror films are lacking nowadays."
"A fascinating topic."
"I liked the concept of how psychology and adaptive behaviors affect the decisions we make and therefore our personalities. Also, besides Devin and Jacqueline being great in their roles (not just saying that, its true)--the actress who plays the Riley is insanely good in her role! Use her for future movies, she is bomb. I also really liked the score and the sound effects which often makes or breaks a good scary movie. I think the discussion of drugs that alter our neuropsychiatry in itself is a fascinating topic. Doctors tend to want to heal (well, not in this movie lol) but sometimes our meds don't have the desired effect and I think its important to explore that concept. "
"Very fun to watch!"
"A fun ride. Started heavy and hard, and just keeps rolling with the crazy. Very fun to watch! A lot of twists and turns."
"A terrifying murderous nightmare."
"A terrifying murderous nightmare. I was very impressed w the acting I believed this was really happening to them. I thought the mass shooting connection w prescription drugs was spot on and an incredible issue to open them discussIon. However being I am directly affected by a mass shooting that occurred in my community, I was sensitive to the subject. I thought the undertone of prescription meds being the cause of mass shooting was spot on and the truth to our reality and the way you wrote it in was brilliant ! Bravo! Bravo!!"
"Chilling and disturbing."
"Definitely messes with your mind and keeps you guessing."
"It definitely messes with your mind and keeps you guessing on what’s going to happen. I really enjoyed the characters and how they worked well with each other."
"Very real. It made me think."
"It was very heavy and something that is true and distributing to me as it's real. Very real. It's kind of not like other movies in that genre because it's got that reality factor in it. More than people know. It made me think."
"Brilliant."
"I thought it was brilliant. How fitting it is considering the psychology behind it all and is being in the middle of a pandemic and faces with mental struggles unknown to us prior. It was well executed, and everyone gave a wonderful performance."
"Fun filled horror film."
"Fun filled horror film that gives me Barbarella meets black mirror. I liked the twist and focus on mental health and psychiatric drugs.
"A fresh take on psychological horror."
"A fresh take on psychological horror, with an action/adventure, dark fantasy vibe and that it’s nonstop intense from start to finish. The ending was awesome, the performances were amazing, and the intensity delivered throughout the entire movie!"
"Something VERY good and special."
"love the message, we live in a world with waaaaaaay to many people on prescription drugs and horrible side effects mostly ignored by society. awesome job guys! you have something VERY good and special here."

"BEWARE: READING THIS BOOK WILL HAVE YOU STAYING UP TILL 2 A.M. WHEN YOU REALLY OUGHT TO BE SLEEPING!!!"
This is a spectacular sci-fi novel. I enjoyed it more than I ever thought I would. Its subjects of love and loss, death and life, and reality and fantasy are well-incorporated into a captivating story line. I was most impressed by the fact that there is a lot going on. Rice has taken what, in someone else's hands, could have been a heap of loose ends, and woven them into a masterpiece. Beware: Reading this book will have you staying up till 2 a.m. when you really ought to be sleeping!!! It's definitely a nail-biter and a keeper, and if you're ready for both a challenge and a pleasure, you most certainly ought to dive into this fantastic book.
"ENJOY THIS GIFT"
When someone you love is stripped from you, you experience the heaviest, loneliest of emotions. You go through feelings that you cannot describe and moments you cannot explain. This book manages to put all those emotions into words. The story is a powerful interpretation of what a person goes through when he loses the one person he loves most. Reading the book got me to places I know I have been before but cannot quite pinpoint when. It was like reading in vivid detail all the things felt, observed, and perhaps, imagined by a broken heart. It took be to places I can never imagine, only feel. I keep wondering how painful it was for the author to birth this book; with all the emotional rollercoaster and the attempts to put in writing unspeakable pain. I was torn. I felt sad for him because he had to go through all those hurt again. But at the same time, I was grateful because the book explained things I felt but cannot quiet comprehend when I lost my love. For you who lost someone dear, this book will provide you hope, thrill, and most importantly, remembrance. The story is but a gift. And I wish that you be able to enjoy this gift as much as I did.
"FRESH AND ORIGINAL"
The Creators is an epic adventure that draws readers into the far reaches of another world all while being swept into the love story of Andrew and Regina. Devin Rice is a natural story teller and has created a saga for the ages with this book. This well thought out story is full of color, life, drama, and adventure. I was drawn into the story on the first page. Rice writes in a profoundly personal way, this sci-fi story is given a freshness and originality that is so often lacking in this genre. If you want a satisfying pager turner, this book fits the bill.
"COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN"
“I don’t usually read science fiction but The Creators made me curious while browsing for new material. I took a chance and I’m glad I picked it up! I could not put my kindle down while I read this book a tale of good and evil and lovers trying to find a way to be together through some pretty fantastic circumstances."
"THE CREATORS IS A POWERFUL STORY OF LOVE, LOSS, HOPE, AND REDEMPTION SET IN AN AMAZINGLY DETAILED SCI-FI/ALTERNATIVE REALITY UNIVERSE."
"I WAS ENGROSSED FROM BEGINNING TO END! IT FEELS AS IF IT IS A HISTORY LESSON OF THE FUTURE!"
“THE CREATORS FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. I WAS EXPECTING A CORNY LOVE STORY...BUT NOW MY MIND HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN BLOWN!"
“THE ACTION PARTS WERE SO INTENSE THAT I WAS ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT, HOLDING MY BREATH!”
"I DIDN'T IMAGINE THAT ROMANCE AND SCIENCE FICTION WOULD BE SO GREAT TOGETHER.”
THE IMMEDIACY SUCKED ME IN
“THE BOOK'S STRUCTURE IS NONCONVENTIONAL AND INTERESTING; THE DETAILED IMAGERY AND THE IMMEDIACY OF THE ACTION AS ANDREW FOLLOWS REGINA THROUGH MEMORIES AND TIME SUCKED ME IN.”
"THE CREATORS IS AN EMOTIONAL AND LITERARY ROLLER COASTER FROM START TO FINISH!"
“YOU WILL NOT STOP READING TILL IT’S FINISHED!”
