“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.“
Maya Angelou
We are actors, creative investors, and philanthropists. We are social challengers, activators, and thought leaders. We are the champions of stories for those who have come before.
We are the dreamers and architects of those that have yet to be written. We seek to elevate cultural consciousness through exploration of honest, raw and uncompromising human experiences.

about us
Where we came from
From tales told round the kitchen table to the electric poetry of our generation’s artists–we are both a rapt audience and willing co-conspirator.
One way or another, storytelling has always been a part of our lives.
As lifelong actors who have spent the last decade cultivating works for the stage, we intimately understand the artist’s struggle for expression. We, too, yearn to make the invisible seen. We founded Lagralane as a finance and project development company to bring these narratives to a larger audience–to bring them to the screen.
For us, legacy is everything. In so many ways, we do this for our children and the families we hope they will create. To see ourselves reflected in story is to connect with our common humanity.
To lay bare our truths is to give voice to our hopes, dreams, losses and rage. This is our way of passing history from one generation to the next, knowing that today our children hunger for truth.
More than ever we see the need to support the uncommon voices, courageous visionaries and inspirational storytellers among us. Their experiences are rising to the surface in a tidal movement that uses creative expression as potent cultural shifter.
There are so many stories to tell. We are honored and humbled to bring some of them to life.
