By the year 2010, 75% of the population of the Greater Middle East will be under the age of 35, making this region one of the youngest and most promising in the world.  BoomGen Studios seeks to cultivate the enormous potential of this BOOM GENERATION by providing an outlet for creative expression and achievement.  We know that art, and particularly storytelling, is an effective crucible for social transformation: It is often less threatening, and creates deeper connections, than any other arena.  BoomGen Studios is founded on the belief that the current perceived divide between the Middle East and the West can be bridged through the shared experience of art.  Our goal is to develop and produce outstanding creative content—contemporary examples of old-fashioned storytelling—that allows for a deeper, more authentic understanding of the modern Middle East, its history, and its future.

BoomGen’s mission is to find and nurture pioneering voices—both established and emerging—from the Greater Middle East and its Diaspora in North America and Europe. We act as producer, facilitator, translator and champion of existing material from a region that can prove difficult-to-access; we also foster the creation of original work.  Both approaches are made possible by the vast BoomGen network of writers, filmmakers, artists, musicians, academics, and social entrepreneurs. 

With this consortium of artists and experts, BoomGen Studios seeks to bring content of significant artistic merit and wide appeal to the motion picture, television, and new media industries—and ultimately to become the gateway to the Western world for talent from, and creative material about, the Greater Middle East and its Diaspora.  Whether it is through a documentary, a feature film, a television show, a graphic novel, or some other form of media, storytelling provides a powerful way of shedding light on one of the world’s most misunderstood—and critically relevant—regions.
