Kimberly Conner established Predestined Arts & Entertainment Company in 2005. The writer of several screenplays and a self-published author, Ms. Conner bypasses the traditional ways of both book and film production that often involves turning over your creative rights and huge percentages from a body of work you created to the hands of large publishing houses and film production companies that can position themselves to make “creative decisions” about your work. Rather than allowing the industry to determine the outcome or tie her projects up in industry red tape, she designed a company that would transcend those barriers without compromising her ideas, a company that would cultivate artistic endeavors, a creative voice especially for people of color.

Founded on the belief that nothing in life happens by chance or coincidence, she thus adopted the name Predestined believing that there is an orchestrated plan for every individual from the moment of conception. It is listening to the tiny voice within, the spirit that propels one beyond questioning their purpose to actively pursuing their purpose with endurance and confidence.

The first book released by Predestined is Naked Poetics, a book of poetry. Comprised of poems, expression, and illustrations, it takes a thought-provoking look at life through the eyes of two sisters.

Predestined Arts and Entertainment develops independent projects guaranteed to entertain the vast audience through books and films and other creative endeavors that promise to enlighten and encourage the community.

On the horizon, Predestined will bring you a male calendar, a documentary, and feature films.
