Open-Eyed Productions was founded in 2003 by Lindsey B. Williams for the purposes of creating original works. In late 2010, several pieces of proprietary software spilled into the greater Film & Media Industry and soon its founder was whisked away on “An Unexpected Journey.” One property, 'Ebony Project' and its associated technology, has become a point of contention for the field at large. "Open-Eyed Productions" was originally a blog hosted on Blogger.com (openeyedproductions.blogger.com). This was eventually privatized at some point in or about 2017/2018.
