The Studio

Built by an operator who came up through the machine.

Divinely Aligned Studios is a multi-level entertainment company developing and producing across the full arc of modern media — literary works, film, episodic series, podcasts, and media marketing.

Most independent studios begin with a story and improvise the operation. This one began the other way around. Four decades of operational leadership inside Warner Bros., Lionsgate, Fox Corporation, and Blizzard Entertainment — portfolios governed, productions supported, budgets defended, delivery dates met — and, thirty years before any of that, a video production house of her own.

What that buys a project is unglamorous and decisive: material that arrives finished. Registered. Budgeted. Outlined to the last episode. A buyer or a publisher meets the work at the stage where the risk has already been taken out.

Divisions

Five lanes, one standard.

Each division shares the same development discipline — nothing goes out into the world before it can survive the meeting it was built for.

01

Literary

Original fiction developed to publication standard — manuscript, interior, cover, and rights posture prepared in-house.

02

Film

Feature development from concept through package, with the budget architecture a financier expects to see attached.

03

Episodic Series

Series development built for the buyer conversation — pilot, bible, season outline, and a mapped multi-season arc.

04

Podcasts

Narrative and conversational audio, developed as a format rather than an afterthought to another property.

05

Media Marketing

Positioning, campaign architecture, and launch operations for the studio's own titles and for selected partners.

The Slate

Developed quietly. Shared deliberately.

The studio is carrying original properties across literary and episodic formats, each developed to a stage where it can be read, optioned, or shot. Titles, loglines, and materials are not published here.

Founder

Sharlene Hardin

Forty years of operational leadership across entertainment, media, and Fortune 100 enterprises — PMOs built from nothing, an $85M portfolio governed, audits passed, a landmark merger integrated. Warner Bros. Lionsgate. Fox Corporation. Blizzard Entertainment. AT&T/DIRECTV. Ingram Micro.

Before all of it, in 1994, she co-founded Mills Video Productions and spent eight years making things. Divinely Aligned Studios is that thread picked back up, with everything the intervening four decades taught her about how a production actually runs.

She is also co-founder of OperationsON, an AI-era operating practice, and writes from Long Beach, California.
