Artemis Media and Spartan Films originated in Los Angeles California in 2002 and was organized to create and develop screenplays for independent production. World events caused its founders to travel the globe in service of our country and our fellow man, but that did not waiver the artistic commitments of the original dream team. After many months abroad, our team rejoined forces in Northern Virginia and San Francisco as the next step in the evolution of the dream.
We are a non-political organization and we believe in equal opportunity. We have staff, affiliates and friends from many diverse backgrounds, all colors, races, creeds and religions. We respect the people and cultures of our world and we only make fun of ourselves. Many of our team are deeply committed to serving our fellow man and have served in humanitarian roles around the world. Our common thread is our love for art and film. If you are obsessive, aggressive, love film and want to have fun, you'll be welcome in our family. Each one of us good at something, together we are unstoppable!
