Eleven-time Emmy Award winning Visionalist Entertainment Productions was established in 1997 by Executive Producer and Director Keith Famie (bio). Keith created a series for various network-affiliate television stations based on his adventurous cooking in exotic locations around the globe. Produced both in short news format segments and hour-long documentaries, Famie quickly developed his own unique style of film production.

Since these early years, Famie and his VEP team have produced a wide range of primetime programs for broadcast on the NBC affiliates in Detroit as well as PBS throughout Michigan.

Visionalist creates all their films with the same story-telling philosophy - They want to make sure the audience walks away inspired, touched or educated.
