Back to the beginning where East Coast met West Coast....
Doug and Tiffany met in Camden, Maine in 1994 while they were both working at the Maine Media Workshops. Doug had been flown in from the West Coast to revive The Resident Film program and Tiffany had been running the photography studio. She was serendipitously rerouted through divine intervention from going to the Big Apple to work for Arnold Newman and was asked to stay on as a teaching assistant for this "hot shot" Director/DP from Los Angeles that everyone had been talking about at The Workshops.
During the next three weeks things progressed from them hauling HMI’s, running cable, wrangling students, doing camera demos to Doug doing her laundry, sipping coffee together in her small apartment, and looking at photographs that reminded him of why he wanted to be a filmmaker in the first place.
In the following weeks, Tiffany sat with her father at a restaurant in Camden and shared her heart with him about this man she had just met and how she knew they were going to make films that would impact the hearts of people around the world. Within eight weeks of meeting each other, Tiffany packed up all her belongings and traveled over 3,000 miles with a U-Haul in tow to Los Angeles to be with Doug. Then as God would have it, a door of opportunity opened for Doug to take a full-time position at a film and television studio in Connecticut heading up their film division. Tiffany had to decide whether or not to stay in Los Angeles working as the studio manager/1st assistant to a very well-known celebrity photographer, Douglas Kirkland, or pack up and move to Connecticut too.
After leaving Los Angeles, they got married, built a house, had four beautiful children, buried a beloved father and a grandmother who was more like a mother, saw friends come and go, felt the pain of deep betrayal from those they loved dearly, and worked on countless film, television, commercial, and advertising projects. Still, they persevered and held to the vision set in their hearts almost 20 years prior. In July 2012, a name was birthed for their film company.....InVicta Entertainment. The word InVicta encompassed the heart and standard in which they desired to set forth in their company and in the films they would create -unvanquished, undefeated, undisputed, invincible, victorious…
Doug and Tiffany officially founded InVicta Entertainment in Spring 2014. Several months later, exactly 20 years to the day from that very first production meeting where Doug and Tiffany first met in Maine, they were loading up their gear to begin filming together on their first project for InVicta, IDENTITY PROJECT. Who does this? Only a very big God who is extremely interested in every detail of our lives, continually fulfilling His purposes and His plans.
We look forward to sharing our adventures with you!
