We believe that theatre and film can and should have a lasting impact and provoke social change. CSP is a writer focused company that encourages collaborative process among creatives, and recognizes that we are creating art that speaks to our audiences rather than down to them. We support and collaborate with Caribbean Diaspora and Caribbean writers who share our vision and our passion for innovative storytelling that questions and deconstructs existing conceptions of their culture and the art form by owning and sharing their narrative. We also create an accessible platform for dialogue between diverse audiences and artistic communities.

Conch Shell Productions achieves its mission of infusing Caribbean Diaspora and Caribbean voices into American film and theatre by producing an online film festivals, online short play series, and hosted readings of full-length plays, and by exploring innovative theatre and filmmaking techniques and providing writers with the support they need to bring their writing to life . They provide the services of skilled dramaturg to assist our selected playwrights with the development of their work, and Conch Shell International Film Fest celebrates, elevates, and unites a diverse community of Caribbean Diaspora and Caribbean filmmakers.
