James Brown III

James Brown III is the President, Chief Creative Officer, and Co-Founder of Story House, Inc. His former production company, Tríonóide Entertainment, LLC, was acquired by SHP, Inc., where James executive produced two award-winning films, White Flags and most recently Early Light.

Early Light was shot in Sheridan, Wyoming in partnership with CHAPS Equine Assisted Therapy. Twelve and a half percent of the film's capital raise and proceeds were awarded to this Wyoming-based organization dedicated to supporting veterans and children facing a wide range of mental health challenges. The film has been selected in dozens of film festivals and served as the catalyst for Story House and the journey to bring major studio infrastructure to the Mountain West.
