The two qualities that Sentinel Films values the most are the ability to effectively learn and change, and the willingness to work hard in order to actualize that change. One thing we have learned from history is that things are constantly changing. The world is not static. It is always inviting us to participate in the evolution process that takes place almost every second. At Sentinel Films, we must always strive to be part of this process. This company was founded on the belief that nothing we have learned in the past can truly prepare us for what we will encounter in the future. This philosophy becomes practical when attempting to bring something new to an industry that has a long and well established history. This short background is given because it is important to understand that it is not the historical achievements or educational background of a particular individual that are valued by Sentinel Films, but whether a person has the ability to learn, make progress, and be creative and adaptable. This company looks for individuals who are not necessarily knowledgeable, but more importantly, innovative. Understanding that history can sometimes bind us – by creating limits – this company will not be restrained by other peoples' success or failures, but it will look to set its own limits. These limits include:

  • Treating everyone and their ideas with utmost respect, and give the same considerations to all of the ideas equally.

  • Applying the greatest amount of respect and consideration to the recipients of our product.

  • Understanding that there are consequences of every individual action both on screen and off.

  • Attempting to contribute in a positive way to our company, our community, and the world at large.

  • Showing an unmistakable respect and appreciation for works of art created by others.

 

These limits are important because they serve as a proper boundary around what would otherwise be a boundless field. It does not, however, infringe upon our firm belief that we must approach filmmaking and this company as a changing work of art. Sentinel Films will attempt to contribute positively to the innovation and responsible conveying of ideas aspect of the filmmaking industry. Of course, none of this could be done without hardworking individuals dedicating their time and effort into achieving these goals. This is precisely why having a willingness to work hard is one of the two monumental qualities valued most by Sentinel Films and its creators.
