A bit about our founder…

AVERY  🌻  ROUDA

Artist  ⚡ Writer ⚡ Filmmaker

Avery Rouda, Storytelling Shaman.

Since graduating from Chapman University, Dodge College of Film & Media Arts with a Bachelor’s in Screenwriting, Avery Rouda has expanded her narrative craftwork to all corners of the storytelling galaxy.

Avery began Enlighten Productions to help other artists diagnose and solve problems in a given opus. Whether it's a feature screenplay, your next big novel, or a TV show idea swirling in the back of your mind, Avery can help you bring those ideas to light, sharpening the vision so it speaks in the way it was imagined.

When it comes to crafting her passion projects, not a day goes by where Avery doesn't dream, write, edit, or outline one story or another. Currently, she is on tour screening her short film, Dream Catcher, at various film festivals around the world.

For more on Avery’s journey into storytelling, check out the recently published article in the LA Times about her directorial debut:

the Full Moon is my S U P E R P O W E R 🌕⚡️ • • • It’s a Partial Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon in Capricorn today, folks. Use this energy to strengthen your earthly efforts - 🔥create🔥, get down to business, stretch your roots down deep.

This time last week, we screened Dream Catcher for a gaggle of adorable bambini in Italy. What an experience... To realize the true power of storytelling, to see it and feel it right before me, has swelled my heart permanently in size. I won’t ever forget these little faces staring up at me as we discussed the importance of dream chasing. Children these days have SO💥MUCH💥TO💥WORRY💥OVER. Their minds are quite literally exploding with concerns about the planet, the fate of humanity, the fears + doubts that permeate political and social structures around the world. Can’t they just be kids? Can’t they just enjoy a movie without someone dying, without blood, without violence or grief? I’m determined to create content that inspires and uplifts, that encourages the birth of a wonderful world. Now, more than ever, we must let our hearts be led by LOVE not FEAR. 🧡 #wonderfulworld #love #light ✨🌈 ✨ ✨ #prayersup #contentforkids #inspire #uplift #dreamcatherthefilm #storiesthatmatter #shortfilm #catchyourdreams #chooseloveoverfear ✨✨✨✨✨✨🎶🎶🎶🎶 “I hear babies crying, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know” Louis Armstrong, What a Wonderful World
