A note from our founders
Sharon Paul & Mark Tilghman
We first joined forces on a slate of inspiring female-protagonist content and employed extensive consumer research to determine which projects were most likely to succeed. Our shared passion for collaboration and excellence in storytelling led us to develop a unique system of moviemaking. By undergirding the content-creation process with data, we gauge an audience’s enthusiasm in advance and support the creative process of our filmmakers. Dandelion Media is partnering with investors committed to making an impact through powerful stories that inspire hope, faith and love. Our mission is to release a vast array of content that resonates and inspires. Thank you for allowing us to share our story with you; we invite you to be a part of the continued adventure.
