The President and CEO of Emperium Studios, Dom Campbell, a Columbus native, has dedicated himself to illuminating the talents of the often-overlooked artists. Through collaborative efforts and investment in the Columbus community, he has built an empire focused on creating thought-provoking, culturally relevant, and entertaining movies and series.

The company's overall mission is to continually produce high-quality content for the TV and film industry, establishing a sustainable Hollywood culture locally. Campbell's commitment to these endeavors is evidenced by his proactive approach in sourcing resources, engaging recognizable out-of-state talent, and maintaining a consistent release schedule. Emperium has also secured multiple distribution deals, enabling the company to efficiently produce and deliver content directly to the market. By bypassing the traditional festival circuit, Emperium's films have garnered significant viewership, reaching millions through prominent streaming platforms such as TubiTV, a company under the Fox umbrella.
