Pathway Pictures was founded under the pretense that there was no playbook to creating a career in the entertainment industry. Pathway believes in uplifting projects that inspire others to find a path and follow it by creating representation on screen and developing authentic characters of all genders and colors. If you can see it, then you can be it.
