About Us
824 Films is based in Atlanta, GA and was inspired by the need for more real urban shows on television. The stories we tell shed light on real life experiences in the 21st century. Seeking to eliminate racial and cultural stereotypes, 824 Films provides a platform which provides respectful representation and goes against traditional storylines which paint subjects as one-dimensional. Identifying a need for more quality entertainment during the COVID-19 pandemic, the founder of 824 Films realized that the current options are problematic and lacking in feel-good entertainment.
If you are a creative storyteller or have a project that aligns with our vision, please contact us at [email protected]
As story tellers, we create successful, ground-breaking and enduring content in a collaborative environment where creativity, career growth, and individual contributions are valued and celebrated.
Who We Are
Janelle Browne
Founder & CEO
In 2009, Janelle Browne found herself often being consulted by friends and associates in the entertainment industry for creative content. It was during this time, Janelle discovered her passion for creative expression. This led to her dream of bringing her imagination to the screen.
Raised in Brooklyn, New York, Janelle was always fascinated with the behind the scenes aspect of production. In writing several scripts, Janelle recognized the importance of creative control and established 824 Films to fulfill her vision. With Janelle’s background in business operations, she was able to leverage her experience into creating the organization and structure needed to produce quality entertainment.
Janelle is known for go-getter New York attitude and drive, and will without a doubt launch 824 Films to great heights. Her goal is to bring her vision of feel good entertainment to all forms of multimedia: television, film, visual art, and internet.
Storyteller
Rachel Lee joined 824 Films in 2019. Known for her freelance background in providing exceptional content for professional enterprises in health care, law, events & hospitality; Rachel’s breadth of work in combination with her ability to bring ideas to life were the qualities the company had envisioned for its Storytellers. As a self-described English nerd, Rachel’s love of reading has made her a skilled writer and stickler for composition.
June Browne
Not only serves as the “mom” to the Storytellers but she is also the mother of the Founder & CEO, creating a true family atmosphere. June reviews, and sometimes mediates, the work produced in storytelling sessions and looks for ways to infuse compassion and truth into each project.
