I'm Katherine Ramdeen.

I've created this vegan film company to

produce & promote vegan values

COMPASSION, EMPATHY, LOVE, CONNECTION, CREATION, UNDERSTANDING, KINDNESS TOWARD ALL

I wasn't always vegan. My journey began in Edmonton, Alberta, much like most people, where I enjoyed a diet that included animal products. It wasn't until I turned 20 that I started questioning my choices. Why was I consuming animals when there were people thriving without them? This question haunted me until one day, I stumbled upon a PETA video that exposed the horrifying fur trade. It was a moment of revelation, and I became a vegan instantly.

I remember crying for hours as I combed through my downtown Vancouver condo, telling my then-husband that we were going vegan, vowing never to contribute to the suffering of innocent Earthlings again. The transition was challenging, particularly giving up cheese due to casomorphins, the chemicals that create a bond between mother cows and their calves.

However, I learned that it takes only 21 days to break a habit and adjust taste buds. This transformation occurred around 2013, following four years of vegetarianism. Veganism was inevitable, and my only regret is that I didn't transition sooner. 

We are all born with innocence, knowing not to harm animals but to cherish them. Society's conditioning and the animal industry have led us to a different path, one filled with slaughterhouses and unnecessary suffering.

As my eyes were opened to this reality, I started seeing the world through the eyes of other animals. I realized that good people, like I used to be, unknowingly supported the mass killing of animals. I understood that not everyone would have the same awakening I did, and that motivated me to spread awareness.

I immersed myself in researching the scientific reasons behind the harm of consuming animals. I discovered how simple it was to create meals without harming animals, leading me to believe that others could do the same.

My journey taught me that my transformation to veganism was driven by emotion and storytelling. As a natural storyteller, actor, and writer, I've always been drawn to creating emotional connections with audiences. It became clear that my life's purpose was to inspire and educate others to become vegans.

While I may not single-handedly change the world, I can change myself and inspire change in others through my actions and words. In 2020, I founded METAZOA FILMS to bring this vision to life. I realized I could create entertaining stories that also educate – specifically, promoting the theme of veganism.

My goal is to produce television and movies that matter, combining entertainment with education. As an actor, I write these projects as extensions of myself, playing the lead in these stories. I use my life experiences and imagination to manifest a world filled with compassion and peace.

That's me, and that's what I'm all about. Through METAZOA FILMS, I aspire to inspire, educate, and create a more compassionate world.

Namaste, 

Katherine Ramdeen, Founder & CEO
