As a result of BE’s tireless efforts KITS is the recipient of much needed production materials through Encore, Warner Bros.’ food and material reuse program.
Designed to connect WB with local community partners, Encore donates surplus items from their food services, productions and departments. And the contribution couldn’t be more timely. As mentioned in the WB Good’s 2019 Encore Report, we are on the fast track of creating our social enterprise–a production studio for a cause a production studio for a cause. The donation of items Encore will be used at our 24-hour production studio that will offer industry professionals the opportunity to pay it forward by renting our sets for their productions, while hiring our youth to work on their projects.

Thank You WB Good
Created to enhance the studio’s commitment to diversity and promote “an environment of
understanding, acceptance and inclusion,” BE at Warner Bros. develops a myriad of
initiatives including those that promote cultural awareness and community outreach.
We are so fortunate and grateful to have their continued confidence and support. Thank
you Warner Bros!
