“Know Wonder Creations has created projects that blend science and soul in a provocative and compelling way. I am convinced that there is both a great hunger for the type of material you are developing, as well as a great lack of credible content. Combined with your talent and resources, I believe that you are ideally equipped to make your vision of the Keepers Of The Sacred Television Series manifest and create a truly unique and transformative product..”
