About
Founded in 2005 by Diane McArter, President of Furlined, we are a global production company with offices in Los Angeles, New York and London. We represent an illustrious group of directors, whose award-winning work has earned us recognition worldwide.
Renowned for our commitment to talent development and excellence in film craft, we discover new and innovative ways in which creativity can add value to the ever-evolving space where culture meets commerce.
With our partners at LoveChild, a space for creative collaborations with brands, agencies and individuals, we develop original content across a variety of platforms.
In 2014, to meet the moral compass of our company's culture, Diane McArter co-founded the non-profit ManifestWorks. Through immersive learning and real-world work experience, the organization prepares those impacted by foster care, homelessness, and incarceration for long-term success in the film and creative industries.
