The origin

Where we
came from
shapes everything

"True creativity thrives under pressure. The best art serves a greater purpose. I learned both of those things before I ever touched a camera."

Roar Vision didn't start in a studio. It started in the U.S. Army, where founder Shane Richardson Straun discovered that art could emerge anywhere — including between combat training rotations, designing award-winning murals for military museums.

Flatbush Brooklyn, NYC native Shane brought hip-hop's instinct for authenticity and cultural precision to everything he created. When he settled in Prince George's County, Maryland, he didn't leave that foundation behind. He built on it.

Since 2005, Roar Vision has been producing work rooted in the American and Caribbean diaspora — its aesthetics, its narratives, its pulse. That cultural intelligence isn't something we learned. It's something we are.

2005
Roar Vision founded in Prince George's County, Maryland. The mission: amplify voices that deserve to be heard.
Now
Two divisions. Global reach. Serving artists, lifestyle brands, and entertainment across the Americas and Caribbean diaspora.

The founder

Shane Richardson
Straun
Multidisciplinary Artist

Shane doesn't just create media — he crafts experiences that move people. With over 20 years of visual storytelling, he approaches every project with the heart of an artist and the precision of a craftsman.

His superpower is translation. Taking abstract ideas, emotional concepts, and business goals and transforming them into visual languages that speak directly to audiences — whether that's a music video for an emerging DMV artist, a brand campaign for a lifestyle company, or a documentary that captures a community's truth.

The ecosystem

One vision.
Two divisions.

Roar Vision operates as two interconnected divisions — one that produces, one that amplifies. Together they form an ecosystem where artists get made and cultures get documented.

Division 01
Roar Vision
Creative Studio
Premium design, direction & media services
For forward-thinking brands and artists, we craft aesthetically driven, conceptually bold work that cuts through the noise. Our approach infuses cinematic depth, cultural intelligence, and technical precision into every frame. We don't execute briefs — we elevate visions.
Music videos Artist branding Commercial campaigns Documentary film Digital strategy Artist development
Division 02
Create or
Consume TV
A creative channel for artists, creators & culture
An unapologetically ambitious media platform celebrating the people, stories, and movements shaping culture across music, film, theatre, literature, design, technology, sports, and social impact. We amplify underheard voices. We document cultural moments. We create space for authentic storytelling across the Americas and Caribbean diaspora.

What we stand on

Five values.
Non-negotiable.

01
Amplification
We make voices louder, ideas clearer, and impact measurable. Every project is an act of turning up the signal on something that deserves to be heard.
02
Authenticity
We celebrate real stories, real creators, and real communities. There is no version of Roar Vision that produces work it doesn't believe in.
03
Innovation
We blend cutting-edge technology with cultural wisdom. The best visual language for 2025 isn't the same as 2015. We stay ahead of both.
04
Diversity & collaboration
We believe the best ideas emerge from varied perspectives working together. The American and Caribbean diaspora is not a niche — it is the source.
05
Cultural grounding
We are rooted in the American and Caribbean diaspora, and it shapes everything we do — from the music we amplify to the stories we choose to tell.
Since 2005
Prince George's County, Maryland

The mission

We don't just
make content.
We build culture.

The DMV creative community has a powerhouse in its corner. The global art world has a studio that speaks its language. This is Roar Vision.
