A Message from our Chief Creative Officer
Welcome to RARi Media.
This company is the culmination of years spent studying, performing, and exploring the many ways storytelling moves us—especially through the lens of filmmaking. I've always been a writer—whether it was journaling, crafting short stories, playwriting, or screenwriting—and for over two decades, I've worked professionally in the entertainment industry, learning firsthand what it takes to be a respected artist and collaborator on set.
Over the past year, my focus has been laser-sharp: to develop meaningful scripts and bring bold, emotionally resonant projects to life—projects that are not only designed to be distributed and sold in the marketplace, but to disrupt it. I’m also committed to pushing boundaries and exploring new technologies that help us create more efficiently and innovate in exciting ways.
Rebecca and I go way back. We met many moons ago while training as actresses with the Labyrinth Theater Company. Years later, when I was determined to start making my own films, the universe nudged us together again—we bumped into each other multiple times over a single month. I took it as a sign and asked if she’d produce films with me. Thankfully, she said yes. We went on to produce three short films—InsideOut (yes, before Pixar!), Back to Plan A, and Blackwell Summers Mysteries. Those films took us to multiple festivals and earned a few awards, but more importantly, they taught us what we still needed to learn.
My friendship with Darrell goes back even further. We attended both high school and college together, and we were each awarded full scholarships through a Chase Bank program that exposed us to valuable lessons on leadership, professionalism, and building strong corporate cultures. To this day, I draw on that knowledge.
Today, I’m grateful to call both Rebecca and Darrell my teammates. Rebecca is a passionate artist with unshakable enthusiasm—she’s proven time and again that she has my back, and I have hers. Not only is she an accomplice to all my crazy dreams, but we also throw amazing parties together. And Darrell, who I lovingly call my consigliere (yes, The Godfather is a favorite), is not only a trusted friend but brings a sharp mind, strategic insight, and steady leadership that keeps us grounded and forward-thinking.
I’m excited about this new chapter. I believe in our vision, our team, and the stories we’re here to tell. At RARi Media, we’re building a powerhouse of storytelling to rival studios like A24 and NEON—amplifying bold voices, shattering ceilings, and illuminating stories that deserve the spotlight.
This is only the beginning.
Thank you for being here. Let’s rise together.
With love and purpose,
Raushanah Simmons
