With Dharma Productions coming on board to bring this dream to fruition – it was the perfect icing on the cake. Our dream project now finally sees the light of day. With Amazon Prime Video associated, we’re thrilled that we have not just achieved what we set out to, but far surpassed the highest summits of our collective imaginations.
