ABOUT US
Like many stories, the desire to connect through the mediums of cinema and sound began in their youth.
Brett found his foundation in the epic drama of the movies as a young boy, concluding at the age of seven that he was to be a Director.
Bonnie equally found her’s in music. Playing the piano and singing until she found her love of the opera in her early teens.
These two artists would not find one another until after years of cultivation and experience.
But, when these two forces joined, it was instant kismet, a ‘love at first sight’ love story and a collective desire to communicate their ideas and stories to the world. Thus, Hart & Soul Entertainment was born.
