Veteran Entertainment Network was founded by Marine Corps Veteran and Guatemalan native, Christian Garrido, driven by a deep passion for storytelling and a commitment to helping other veterans find their place in the entertainment industry. After leaving the Marines, Christian knew he wanted to pursue a career in entertainment but was met with the challenge of navigating an industry that felt out of reach. Despite veterans possessing skills that translate well into the world of film and production, the journey was far more difficult than expected.

Determined to make a difference, Christian founded Veteran Entertainment Network with two goals in mind: to create films, shows, and content that inspire, and to provide veterans and their families with opportunities to learn through hands-on apprenticeships alongside experienced crew members. By opening doors that had once seemed closed, Veteran Entertainment Network is reshaping the industry by empowering those who have served.

Veteran Entertainment Network’s ultimate goal is to become the largest veteran-owned and operated production company in Hollywood, producing meaningful content while making it easier for veterans to break into the world of entertainment.
