ABOUT US*

Sumrie™ Productions is a production company founded by Benjamin Sumrie. Due to the nature of the arts industry, this company is a conduit to connect and collaborate – prioritising new works & art that challenges the status quo. Not from a politicla perspecitve, but from a human need of putting the creative artists first and defending their right to expression for the betterment for all, especially for those who’s voices are not heard. It is up to those who are willing to take a risk in order to make great work.
