Whether you want to compete in our film contest (relaunching in 18 to 24 months) or to be inspired by our podcast, we strive to be a useful source of information on your journey to becoming a successful entertainment entrepreneur. As one philosopher said, “we as humans are to be concerned about three qualities: the good, the true, and the beautiful.” It is said that Greek philosopher Plato himself argued powerfully in favor of the objectivity of these qualities of which touch the very heart of The Doorpost Project.
