About

A PURPOSE-DRIVEN PRODUCTION COMPANY

Come and See Media started in 2022 with the vision of helping people share their voice and vision. After working in the community for several years in San Bernardino, I realized there was a rising generation of growth and education in the form of local businesses and community programs. Yet, this movement went completely unnoticed by most locals. This realization motivated me to create this production company. I developed a passion for documenting the revitalization taking place in San Bernardino and I look forward to capturing, sharing, and promoting the coming development of this city and the Inland Empire.

The name “Come & See Media” actually was inspired by the bible verse John 1:46,

“Nathanael said to him, ‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’ Philip said to him, ‘Come and see.’”.

Coming from San Bernardino, a place infamous for violence and poverty, I was always faced with negative reactions when I told people I’m from this city. So when I read this story in the Bible, I felt that. Many are quick to stereotype and stigmatize, but if invited in – Come & See – they will see the creative, resilient, and passionate people that make up San Bernardino. This exact sentiment is what this company is based on. Inviting people in to hear or watch a story and have them open up their minds and broaden their perspectives.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Hello,

I’m Sofia, a Latina creative, born and raised in San Bernardino, CA. My passion is helping artists, businesses, and non-profit organizations tell their story through authenticity and empathy.

Ever since I was little, I had always been fascinated with the arts and with serving my community. After high school, I attended California Baptist University and graduated with a Bachelors in Film Studies and a minor in Sociology. Through my college experience, I began partnering with local non-profits and community organizers to document their events. This then led me to working with local businesses and artists. Today, my mission is to bring awareness, empathy, and authenticity to all my work and partnerships.
