Leadership
Rockson Arnold
Founder & Chief Executive. Director, producer, and, before either of those, an IT specialist. The unusual order of those two careers is the reason this firm is built the way it is.
The road here
He started out in IT.
Rockson spent his first career in information technology: Geek Squad, then an IT specialist role at Stefanini Group, while completing an Information Technology degree at Oakland University.
2014 was the pivot. In the same year he founded Rockeagle Pictures and enrolled at the New York Film Academy to study filmmaking, directing and acting. He has run the company as CEO and Creative Director ever since, working across the Los Angeles and Detroit metros.
He made his first documentary in 2008, as part of a research project at a Michigan college, four years before the IT degree and six before film school. The interest came first; the two disciplines came afterward, in that order.
Career
Twenty years, two disciplines.
The through-line is not film. It is being the person who can hold a complex system in their head and then explain it to somebody who cannot.

Service
He does this at his own church, unpaid.
The board and leadership advisory line of this firm is not abstract. Rockson has served his own congregation, Kirk in the Hills in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, for roughly four years: on the Strategy Committee, through a completed term on Outreach and Mission, and now in the Deacons ministry, alongside work with the youth ministry.
“With his background in entertainment, business, and technology, he aspires greatly to use media and technology to help advance the gospel and drive forward the mission and vision of the church in terms of growth and impact.”

That is a fair summary of what the whole firm does, written about somewhere he is not paid to do it.
