Ziggi Founder + Mission
Ziggi Founder Signe Taylor
My name is Signe Taylor. I am a documentary filmmaker and I have directed films for public and commercial television, including award-winning documentaries like Circus Dreams. I have also worked as a media educator, teaching middle school and high school students about how to make as well as analyze media content.
As a teacher and parent, I have long been frustrated by the media aimed at 10 to 14 years olds in the United States. Many TV shows, movies and games made for this age group tend to perpetuate gender roles, confirm stereotypes, glorify consumerism and lack diversity. Think about the amazing range of characters, settings, issues and stories that you can find in books for kids. Why can't we have that range and that quality in films and games too?
The answer is, we can! There are hundreds of high-quality movies, shows and games aimed at 10 to 14 years olds being made around the world every year. This media does not reach families in the United States because it will not sell lots of show-based products, like t-shirts and lunchboxes, so the commercial distributors do not want it. BUT I think families still want this content! My mission is to build Ziggi into a bridge that brings high-quality, positive and engaging media to families in the United States. I believe that through Ziggi, we can help transform the media options available to kids in the USA!
If you like the sound of Ziggi, please SIGN UP! This will help prove to investors that there are many families who want Ziggi's engaging, positive and mind-expanding content. If you want further information and/or would like to invest, please contact me. Thanks!
