COMPANY PHILOSOPHY
What Does Lumen Mean?
Lumen is the Latin word for light. Christ is the light of the world, and our desire is to spread His light to the world.
Mission Statement
“To enlighten and nourish with Truth through the arts.”
This means that our mission is to make the truth visible and nurture its growth within the family through the most inspirational means of the arts. We will entertain, educate, and evangelize the youth and family by proclaiming the message of Christ, in the spirit of the New Evangelization, through the mass media. The documents of the Second Vatican Council and the Holy Fathers Encyclical New Evangelization will be our guide in the development of these media tools. We will also use the work place to bring dignity to the worker as described in the encyclical Laborem Exercens.

Dignity
The dignity of the worker will always take precedence over the success of the ministry.

QUOTES OF INSPIRATION
"Art enables knowledge of God to be manifested in a better way and the preaching of the Gospel to be more transparent to the intelligence of men."
– Pope John Paul II
"Christ invites us to put man, with his doubts and ambiguities, at the center of everything. The cinema is the most wonderful instrument to dream of and grow in ideals" Given that "traces of the spiritual dimension are found in the cinema," our obligation "is to enlighten and nourish this trace of meaning."
– Cardinal Paul Poupard
Missionaries, are committed on the front line, both at the material level – food, water, clothes, development – as well as the spiritual, which is proper to them. Perhaps, on this second front, the cinema could give a hand."
– Andrea Piersanti
