The company initially made production deals with Orion Pictures and Fox Hills Video, producing a series of wide-ranging home video offerings including ''How to Read a Woman Like a Book'', ''How to Become the Love of His Life'', ''Bizarre Sports Incredible Feats'', and ''Get Rich Quick By Beating the Odds''.

It resulted in the book ''Embracing Judaism: Narratives of Personal Faith'' published by Jason Aronson.〔https://rowman.com/ISBN/9780765760975〕 Since then the company has created, written, filmed and edited 16 documentaries which have aired on major television outlets and screened in film festivals worldwide.
