What's in a name? I have long been mesmerised by the duality of human beings.The old adage of “there’s always two sides to a coin” nearly always holds true in my experiences with people.I use this to define and inspire my work.So it is that the name of my production company should reflect this human duality.Fire is a natural element that intrigues me, it can be friend and foe, beautiful and frightening, a destroyer and creator.
I also believe a person cannot achieve their potential without toil, perseverance and direction.The locomotive symbolises all of these.It is the epitome of working strength. Once moving it maintains momentum and travels in a determined direction. These are the attributes this company will strive to consistently demonstrate.
