Wes & Heaven Clark are two brothers born and raised in Long Island, New York. They began their journey in entertainment at young ages. It would all start with Heaven who joined a singing group in school. He wrote songs in junior high school and was in talent shows. He connected and worked with producer Joe Kelly and later worked as a protégé for Doctor Freeze who wrote the Grammy nominated song "I Wanna Sex You Up". Heaven was very heavily involved in song writing, script writing, and poetry. Wes worked as a producer and writer. His genre of writing is of a fictional and creative one. He taught film to high school students and has a few success stories of some of them. One of his students is now a producer at ABC. And he has another student who shoots commercials for BMW. The Clark Brothers grew up listening to artists such as Prince, Michael Jackson, and New Edition. Their mother was a huge fan of these artists and had a passion for music as well, due to her talent as a pianist. And she was blessed to be able to grace the stage with her presence and perform at Carnegie Hall. Wes and Heaven also had a grandfather who was the chauffeur to the iconic actress Ms. Shirley Temple. These brothers have and still are doing amazing things with their talents and are going places.

After transitioning to film and video the Clark Brothers began making more connections. Although they worked on a lot of music they went on further to writing screenplays. Heaven took a media class which assisted in he and Wes getting into the media business where they would eventually form their new venture called Block TV. The Clark Brothers did a couple of film festivals and won. Their film "The Trade Off", which was based on a novel written by Sherman Sawyer, screened at The Long Island International Film Expo and won the Audience Choice Award.

"We have a goal of doing one film in every genre. The imagination has always been there and we want to be versatile."
