MISSION STATEMENT
Legitimate Operation Productions is a very super serious budding media empire seeking to create world peace one work of art at a time.
Founded by lovers, Harriette Feliz and Riley Shanahan in 2018 in Studio City, CA, the company was born from impatience, anger, and a need to create art while we are still living.
We are resource-oriented filmmakers focused on ideas we can shoot simply that still have a profound effect on it's audience.
We are looking to make this company our full time job by 2031 so please support us if so moved!
