Our
lives are made of stories told over countless cups of coffee, broadcast
and projected onto screens, passed hand-to-hand on the printed page,
and whispered in bed. We all eagerly listen to the stories of others
and relish telling our own. In their simplicity and grandeur, humor and
drama, stories occupy the very heart of what it means to be human.
We create imaginative, character-based
stories for television and film—stories
that get people talking, true stories that reflect the complexities
of individual lives and imagined stories that mine essential
elements of our shared humanity.
We understand that it's hard
to write good drama, harder still to write good comedy, and it's
hardest of all to write a drama with comedy, which is what life
is, after all.

"a gorgeous, moving, wrenching, and ultimately uplifting story, the kind of film that opens the mind and heart so wide they can never close as tightly again,” says
bestselling author and Oprah Magazine columnist Martha Beck.
We
take our name from a poem titled “Say Yes Quickly” by
Jelaluddin Rumi, the great Sufi mystic who lived in the
thirteenth century. The poem affirms that it’s possible
to enrich the lives of “people you don’t know
and have never seen,” and we like, too, how these
three words communicate a sense of the forward momentum
that is essential to meeting the challenges of the creative
life—a dynamic one in which “no” is
a hurdle, “maybe” is limbo, and “yes” is
always good news. And we love to say yes quickly ourselves
when we’re entertained, moved, or impassioned by
the creative work of others.
