Company Profile
LOMA MANSA PRODUCTIONS LLC
MISSION STATEMENT:
Loma Mansa Productions is a production company dedicated to creating content that inspires and compels social change. Founded in 2018 by Adetokumboh M’Cormack, Loma Mansa Productions’ content combines the power of telling the untold and forgotten true stories of our world’s history while also creating awareness around the most pressing global issues of our time.
COMPANY HISTORY:
Loma Mansa Productions’ founder Adetokumboh M’Cormack noticed a disturbing trend; there was a lack of diversity in film and television. Storylines which did feature actors of color were overwhelmingly negative and stereotypical. Such images damage and isolate viewers and also impact the way certain groups are perceived by the world. It was imperative to change the narrative and start telling stories about marginalized individuals with characters that were positive, nuanced, complex and non-stereotypical. There has been a growing demand from minorities in America and around the world, to see themselves and their experiences portrayed fairly and more accurately in the media. Answering the call for diversity and inclusion, Loma Mansa Productions became committed to telling inspiring stories about people from different races, religion, ability, socioeconomic status and LGBTQ+ status. Loma Mansa is also committed to diversity and inclusion in it’s staff and film crews so that the company better reflects the multifaceted world in which we live. Loma Mansa Productions understands that during a time when so many marginalized individuals feel they don’t have a voice, we can create content that speaks directly to them. Our content can empower the viewer, foster community, change perceptions and inspire and compel social change. After all, it was Bertolt Brecht who famously said, “Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.”
