Back to the beginning where East Coast met West Coast....
“Once you’ve tasted the real reason you are alive, nothing will ever satisfy”
Doug and Tiffany met in Camden, Maine in 1994 while they were both working at the Maine Media Workshops. Doug had been flown in from the West Coast to revive The Resident Film program and Tiffany had been running the photography studio. She was serendipitously rerouted from going to the Big Apple to work for Arnold Newman and was asked to stay on as a teaching assistant for this new Director/DP.
During those next three weeks things progressed from them hauling HMI’s, running cable, wrangling students, doing camera demos to Doug doing her laundry, sipping coffee together in her small apartment, and looking at photographs that reminded him of why he wanted to be a filmmaker in the first place.
Within eight weeks of meeting each other, Tiffany packed up all her belongings and traveled over 3,000 miles with a U-Haul in tow to Los Angeles to be with Doug. Then a door of opportunity opened for Doug to take a full-time position at a film and television studio in Connecticut heading up their film division. Tiffany had to decide whether or not to stay in Los Angeles working as the studio manager/1st assistant to Douglas Kirkland, a very well-known celebrity photographer, or pack up and move to Connecticut as well.
After leaving Los Angeles, they got married, built a house, had four beautiful children, buried a beloved father and a grandmother who was more like a mother, saw friends come and go, felt the pain of deep betrayal, and worked on countless film, television, commercial, and advertising projects. Still, they persevered and held to the vision created in their hearts almost 20 years prior. In July 2012, a name was birthed for their film company.....InVicta Entertainment. The word InVicta encompassed the heart and standard in which they desired to set forth in their company and in the films they would create -unvanquished, undefeated, undisputed, invincible…
Doug and Tiffany officially founded InVicta Entertainment in Spring 2014. Several months later, exactly 20 years to the day from that very first production meeting where Doug and Tiffany first met in Maine, they were loading up their gear to begin filming together on their first project for InVicta, IDENTITY PROJECT. So Crazy….
We look forward to sharing our adventures with you!
