James Brown III is the Chief Creative Officer and co-founder of Story House Pictures, Inc. His former production company, Tríonóide Entertainment, LLC., was acquired by SHP, Inc. where James executive produced two award winning films, White Flags, and most recently, Early Light. Early Light was shot in Sheridan, Wyoming in partnership with CHAPS Equine Assisted Therapy and 12.5% of the film’s capital raise and proceeds were awarded to this Wyoming based organization dedicated to treating Veterans and children living with a myriad of mental challenges. The film has been selected in dozens of film festivals over the last year and was the catalyst to this journey of bringing a major film studio to Wyoming.
