Stories That Stir the Heart
Story has been a vehicle used for centuries to grab the attention and stir the hearts of others. Story has the power to move, reveal, unravel, expose, mend, and heal. Out of Mind Productions is, at its core, a storytelling company. Out of Mind Productions was founded by Lauren Hance, with the vision of bringing original and published works to life. Not only have we produced original work, we have also partnered with schools, colleges, filmmakers, and churches to present high-quality original and published works. We continually seek to bring to life stories that stir the heart.
