WHO WE ARE  
 

 

Gene Sloan, Founder
Gene Sloan founded Creative Mind Media, with his wife Arlene, in 2005 as a distribution company for high quality, uplifting, transformative entertainment that incorporates universal spiritual truths found in many religions and wisdom traditions. During the production of Living Luminaries on The Serious Business of Happiness, Gene recognized that there were no distribution companies that were solely dedicated to bring this new genre of films to the market. This was the impetus for creating Creative Mind Media; to distribute all films produced by Grace Point Films and eventually by other like-minded film producers creating high quality content laden films. In his 30 years as an investor in real estate and technology, Gene has understood markets before their time. He has a great ability to foresee new markets and the business sense to know how to engage them. With his unusual background as both a self-made entrepreneur/businessman and his intensive interest and lifelong dedication to a broad array of spiritual and philosophical studies, he provides an extraordinary combination of leadership that is progressive, enlightened, and responsive to the marketplace. Gene’s leadership style is innovative, collaborative and empowering to dedicated team members, which inspires them to strive for excellence. He clearly articulates the vision and he enrolls, inspires, and leverages talent by the vision, rather than by the task. Gene has also pursued a life long interest and in depth study of a wide range of spiritual, religious, philosophical and consciousness mindsets over the past 35 years. He brings a consciousness of unity and recognizes the underlying thread of truth that is woven throughout all religions and spirituality. Gene is committed to assisting humanity to transform its consciousness by distributing entertainment with high spiritual and psychological values that is content-laden with uplifting, intelligent, insightful stories.
Arlene Sloan, Co-Founder
Arlene Sloan co-founded Creative Mind Media with her husband Gene, in 2005. With her background as a licensed architect for 25 years, and her lifelong appreciation for the gifts of spiritual wisdom, she assists in guiding the direction of Creative Mind Media on both the global level and detail level. Her innovative style of business adds creativity and warmth to the team. Arlene brings her dedication to spiritual truth, the awareness of the power of entertainment to uplift, and her consciousness of unity among many to the team. She also brings business acumen, extensive training in communication and conflict resolution and years of experience working collaboratively in a creative field.
Diane Tapogna, Project Manager
Diane Tapogna joined Creative Mind Media in 2007. She brings a unique combination of organizational skills, business acumen and creative vision to the team. In her over 20 years as a Registered Nurse, she has worked in a wide variety of settings, most recently as a Hospice Case Manager. In this role she has come to live in absolute awe of the uniqueness and preciousness of the human experience. Diane has been a Spiritual seeker all of her life. Through her many explorations of the teachings of ancient wisdom and contemporary philosophy she has developed a special love of story as a learning tool. She has always had great fondness for cinema. So this combination of passion, skill and life experience makes her the perfect addition to Creative Mind Media.
