Synthian’s career really began on the stage of the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, 2006, where he became the first rock musician ever presented an Artivist Award for his Human Rights music video, “BELIEVE”. He didn’t make it out of the theater before accepting 2 subsequent film projects, and (since that video is where our logo originates) we tend to be most proud of small videos for small organizations, that create big changes. And while several of our small pieces have been graced with recognition, there aren’t many statues presented to Non-Profits & health-warriors. So we’re skipping the small PSAs, music vids, & Narrative Films… and limiting this page to just those ENORMOUS UNDERTAKINGS, by unbridled crazy people, singularly focused, on hopeless missions… or what the industry calls:\u00a0Feature Film Documentaries<\/strong><\/em>. – And we’ve been honored to be part of them.<\/p>\n
