FRIED OKRA ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
MOUNT DORA, FLORIDA

Fried okra – the food – is simple, honest and authentic. We happen to think that’s a good approach to filmmaking, to business, and to life. Back in 2001, though, when we named the company “Fried Okra,” we did it because we like to eat fried okra. Simple as that. The metaphors, while completely legitimate, weren’t something we were thinking about at the time. We approach everything we do simply, honestly, and authentically. Because…well, because that’s how we were raised. That’s how we believe it should be. And because a long time doing this has taught us that you’ll like it better that way. We hope you’ll give us a try. Because we’re confident that if you do, you’ll be back for more. Matt Hill may very well be Madison Avenue’s most amiable Executive Producer.
