Welcome! I'm Matthew Reign, the CEO and founder of the Art of Reign. I'm excited to announce the upcoming release of my debut novel, Hyperion Chronicles: The King of Legion. I was born and raised in Fontana, California, and ever since I was 12 years old, I've been passionately writing and developing the captivating universe of Hyperion Chronicles. This project has undergone countless transformations and has grown exponentially over the years. It's truly a dream come true to finally bring this initial book to life, with many more books to follow, spanning 2,000 years of meticulously crafted history.
Storytelling has always been an inherent part of who I am. Just ask anyone who knows me, especially my wife, who can attest to my inability to stop once I start telling a story. I've always been a talkative and creative person, and art in all its forms holds immense significance in my life. It's akin to those moments when I got grounded by my mom and retreated to my room to blast some System of a Down, or when I first got my hands on a PlayStation 2 and spent all night immersed in games like Metal Gear Solid or Kingdom Hearts. To this day, I still feel that feeling in my stomach every time I step into a movie theater.
My ultimate goal is to create art that creates those same emotions in others. It's not simply about producing content; it's a labor of love. Writing is something I will continue to pursue until my last breath. My ideas and creations have been my guiding light through the ups and downs of life, and I'm certain that, like me, you've faced your own challenges where art has provided solace. In my darkest moment at 16 years old, when I attempted suicide, I was fortunate enough to find the strength to carry on. I picked up a journal, and since then, I haven't stopped writing. It completely transformed my life.
Now, I'm incredibly excited to share my thoughts and imagination with all those willing to listen. Together, let's spread love and light through the power of art. Thank you for joining me on this extraordinary journey.
At Art of Reign Productions, our mission is to produce compelling and inspiring art that uplifts and guides. Art that transports you to the world you've always dreamed of and touches that deep part of your soul that sparks life within you.
Our goal is to inspire and positively impact the lives of 100 million individuals, one person at a time. While also and provide a platform where artists can unleash their creativity, express themselves, and share their unique stories with the world.
What’s the problem I am trying to solve?
Throughout history, art has been a powerful way for creators to tell stories, using different forms such as painting, music, acting, and writing. These stories have been passed down through generations, from oral traditions to stone tablets to books and to common shared conversations. However, in today's world, I believe there is a lack of heart, substance, and impact in the art of storytelling. Profits have taken priority over passion, and stories no longer highlight triumph and victory. The purpose of storytelling seems to have shifted, and it no longer serves us in the way it should.
Stories are a key part of our tradition, providing us with experiences and stirring emotions. When we gather with our loved ones and share stories, we come together in laughter and joy. Stories are the essence of our memories and lives, shaping who we are. They are more real than the canvas they’re created on and have the power to greatly impact our lives.
At Art of Reign we aim to fix the problem and produce art that can help us navigate this chaotic world. We believe that art is a story that moves your spirit, much like your favorite movie, or rewatched TV show, or video game on a new console, or a book that you can't put down. It's the song that uplifts you when you’re down or a new album that ignites a fire within you. We aim to create stories that you can relate to and connect with, whether through novels, video games, clothing, movies, or any other form of art that empowers you to Reign.
What does the Art of Reign mean to me?
The Art of Reign represents an opportunity for me to fulfill my destiny and master the art of storytelling. It allows me to express my authentic self, embracing my inner nerd and becoming the hero of my own story. Through this platform, I can honor my life, God, and the people I love. The Art of Reign is a promise I made to myself, a reminder that even in the darkest times, there was always a purpose: to share my story.
