About WPC
Wholehearted Production Co. (WPC) was founded by Jordan Rawlings and Lex Brown, two Chicago transplants and University of Idaho alumni. The company was created as a space to write, produce, and support both fiction and compassionate non-fiction centered around the concept of love.
WPC works to question and challenge the definitions of what love looks like in modern media- exploring the ways that humans try and fail and try again to treat each other with care- and the inherent value of that act in all its manifestations. We believe we have a responsibility to use our platform to hold space for people of all cultures, races, sexualities and genders (or lack thereof), and all those facing societal and cultural oppression in our exploration of art, mental health, and love in all its forms.
We all have stories to share, and it is our goal to share them, because stories are what connect us all in this wild, unpredictable, wonderful world.
