After years in the film industry, Michael Gray began to grow nostalgic for the type of feel-good family entertainment that he says has seemingly vanished from cinema and television in recent years.
“Where is the content that’s appealing to small-town America, that can inspire and entertain an audience, spanning generations?” asks Gray, a writer, director, and producer who calls Ho-Ho-Kus home. “It doesn’t happen anymore.

To quote the classic 1989 sports fantasy film “Field of Dreams:” If you build it, they will come. And so, Gray did.
