Why the name Hope and Glory Studios.? Daniel Hellman thought up the name. First, Daniel liked the 1980's movie Hope & Glory. Second, the name conveys what we do and why. We  want to make the world a better place by giving people hope.  And when we give people hope we are doing it for the glory of God. And finally, Saint Irenaeus once said "The glory of God is man fully alive. We feel fully alive when we are making the world a better place through our stories.
