Are You Ready to Tell Authentic, Inclusive Stories?
As an artist, a creative, a filmmaker you know that the stories you tell matter. They have the power to shape perceptions, challenge norms, and spark change. But when it comes to telling stories about identity, trauma, and historically marginalized communities, you need the right collaborator to get it right.
The Problem: Shallow Representation
The push to “diversify” stories often comes without the care needed to do it well. Too often, the industry encourages creators to place marginalized characters on the stage without giving them full humanity—using identity as set dressing, or turning trauma into spectacle. Instead of honoring complexity, stories are flattened into clichés.
This villain whispers:
● “Just make it dramatic.”
● “The pain has to feel real.”
● “Representation is enough.”
It’s easy to fall into the trap of tokenism, stereotypes, or exploiting identity for emotional punch. But these shortcuts cause harm—and they waste the chance to tell stories that are authentic, layered, and truly meaningful.

What it's like to work with Sol.
"Working with Sol on The Heart of Texas was nothing short of transformative. She wasn’t just a producer, she was a force. A connector, a problem-solver, a creative partner, and an unwavering advocate for both the story and the people behind it.
Sol brings an extraordinary mix of intellect, instinct, and integrity to every aspect of production. She’s smart in the way that makes you better just by working with her. Thoughtful in the way she balances logistics with empathy. Sharp in every conversation without ever losing the heart of the project.
She doesn’t just get things done, she makes the impossible feel possible. Sol is one of those rare people who lifts a project off the page and into the world with grace, grit, and a kind of magic you can’t teach.
If you have the chance to collaborate with her, take it. Your project will be better. Your team will be stronger. And you’ll walk away grateful you got to work with one of the very best."
