ENTERTAINMENT: While merging architecture and entertainment in 2011, my own company contracts for Movie Studios, starting in New Orleans, LA. First was $100m film studio and then in Miami, before David Beckham’s Inter Miami CF Soccer Club acquired the land for a new stadium. Next, my principal designers and several advisors, were also pushing for a future NetZero Production Campus on 300+ acres. We arranged the investment of $538M during 2020, with a ""Bottom-Up" budget with 5-year proformas. During 2019, I had stepped in to be Executive Producer role with a UK project with Top 5 oscar-winning production teams. Then COVID-pandemic hit to pause such things for now.
BACKGROUND: After decades of global projects and clients, Darren Sumner began designing and fund-raising for large-scale Motion Picture studio. This lead to Darren's re-branding or "reinvention".
