Fostering a connection between families and beneficial relaxation
In June 2020, the Boone sisters collaborated on Beaumanities, the live-action and animation Trailer and Pilot created to make critical theory more accessible. It was recognized by Matthew A. Cherry and an Official Selection in various web festivals.
After the success of Beaumanities and the collective awakening of the last year, we started Boone Productions — a family-led, art-based and love-founded prodco — in order to use the power of story to spark intergenerational healing, understanding and growth on a foundation of intersectional liberation principles.
Family is our foundation.
Community is our cause.
