About us
How did we evolve from being HDNM Entertainment, a motion picture development and production company in 2004 to a consulting firm in 2022? If there’s one thing that we learned after years of reverse engineering brilliant storytelling is that we were NOT in the business of delivering plots to the screen at all; rather, our job as storytellers was to bring relationships to life. The Titanic is not about a sinking ship; rather, it’s a human story about love's power to fuel unrelenting hope and possibility even in the face of death. CODA is not a story about a Child of Deaf Adults. It’s a tale about the relationship of the self to one’s own voice and finding personal power. The plot is in service of the characters' development. Our coaching and consulting services focus on how we show up and lead in the workplace to foster the most inclusive, powerful, rewarding and productive relationships.
The second huge lesson learned while coaching film directors is that great directing at its very core boils down to LEADERSHIP. The lessons we learned fueled the transition from making pictures to making differences.
