“The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.”
— Francis Bacon
Art of the Story
Telling stories is not only an art, but a powerful tool. It can move the heart, challenge the mind, and engage the soul. That is how we make sense of the world around us - through story. and it has the capability to change more than just an individual. It has the ability to shift culture in significant ways. Story, plus truth, is a potent mix of influence.
Watershed has a commitment to delivering high quality entertainment by combining the power of storytelling with the beauty of motion picture. We aim to provoke the audience to introspection without neglecting our primary motivation to entertain.
Our vision is cultural impact. We believe that truth fulfills the deep needs of every human and is the foundation from which all of our stories are told.
