According to Deadline Hollywood, Bakalova and Kostov founded the company with the aim to tell Bulgarian, Balkan and Slavic stories and bring them to international audiences and advocate better representation for actors from Eastern Europe, as well as to normalize foreign accents on screen and shed the negative stereotypes often associated with characters from that region in Hollywood and other international productions.
