When the World Decides Who You’re Allowed To Be
I’ve been wanting a conversation with Jared Moses for some time now. Him and his team over at One Brilliant Arc (OBA) have helped me edit some of my works, and they’re doing great things. One of the things, aside from just being a book and screenplay editor, is that…
When the Art World Won’t Save You
Julian’s life reads like a map of restless searching: born in London, raised under the Spanish sun, chasing meaning across continents until he landed in America. Julian talked about the financial panic, the spiritual exhaustion, and the constant tug-of-war between survival and creation. He told me about selling two massive…
When Talent Isn’t Enough: What Ruth Douthitt Taught Me About Surviving as a Creative
Sometimes I feel too busy chasing the my dream and shaping it into something real real, only to find that my dream and the truth bump into each other, and it’s not a gentle bump either. It’s more like walking into a glass door you didn’t know was there. Talking…

Novels & Literature
Storytelling is the foundation of everything we do. As a novelist, I thrive on exploring diverse narrative landscapes rather than sticking to a single rigid genre. From intricate mysteries to sweeping dramas, our literary catalog focuses on rich character development, unexpected thematic twists, and stories that leave a lasting impact. By maintaining absolute creative control over our self-published library, we are consistently building a deep bench of original, family-friendly intellectual property ready for cross-media adaptation.
Feature Films & Screenplays
Cinema is the ultimate canvas for powerful storytelling. Lightminded Arts is actively developing a robust slate of independent, family-friendly feature films designed for commercial viability and broad audience appeal. Our screenplays blend sharp, witty dialogue with heartfelt narrative arcs, ensuring that every project aligns with a strong moral compass without sacrificing cinematic excellence. We are currently engaging with producing partners, co-producers, and distributors at major markets to bring these commercial, character-driven narratives to the silver screen.
Short Films & Narrative R&D
Innovation requires experimentation. Our short film catalog serves as our dedicated narrative and technical incubator. Rather than traditional classroom exercises, these projects function as active research and development (R&D) proofs of concept. Through these micro-budget productions, we test pacing, visual styles, and emerging cinematic workflows, ensuring that we maintains a sharp, competitive edge before scaling these concepts into multi-million-dollar feature lengths.
Virtual Production & LED Volumes (In Development)
Independent filmmaking demands creative problem-solving. To maximize production value on modern budgets, Lightminded Arts is leaning heavily into the future of cinema: Virtual Production. By integrating real-time 3D environments with physical sets, we aim to eliminate traditional location limitations. Our development pipeline utilizes cutting-edge LED volume technology, allowing us to bring massive scale, immersive backdrops, and photorealistic environments directly into a controlled environment, saving immense logistical costs while drastically expanding the director’s visual canvas.
AI Integration in Creative Workflows (In Development)
We view emerging technology not as a replacement for human artistry, but as an advanced tool to optimize the filmmaking process. Lightminded Arts is actively exploring partnerships to mesh virtual production workflows with advanced generative design tools. By converting concept art and 2D assets into interactive 3D environments that track seamlessly with camera movement, we are creating production pipelines that streamline VFX work, speed up post-production, and allow independent filmmakers to achieve a massive aesthetic scale on an efficient budget.
The Studios at LightMinded Arts (In Development)
To support our growing slate of film, audio, and visual projects, we are currently designing and developing a state-of-the-art commercial studio facility. Slated to open its doors in the next two years, this boutique production hub will house dedicated spaces for advanced cinematography, voiceover recording, acoustic podcast environments, and a permanent LED volume wall. While built to anchor our own internal features and content libraries, the studio will ultimately serve as a collaborative space for creators looking to elevate their commercial media, YouTube content, and independent film projects.
