Alex, Ryan, Tim and Jeremy are four guys from four very different backgrounds but are in the business of creating imaginary worlds - like Sparkle Friends - and determined to enjoy every minute of it. And with Nickelodeon and Disney expressing an interest - with the right cartoon - they stand on the verge of making some very serious money.
