## Rising Entertainment Mogul Transforms Yonkers' Creative Landscape.

In the competitive world of entertainment business, few executives have made as distinctive an impact on Yonkers' cultural scene as Crittermake, the enigmatic founder and CEO of The Order of Business Entertainment (TOBE). 

From humble beginnings in a converted warehouse space near the Hudson River, Crittermake has built what industry insiders are now calling "the most innovative entertainment incubator in the tri-state area." TOBE has quickly established itself as a disruptive force in content creation, artist development, and digital media distribution.

"What makes us different is our approach," explains Crittermake during our interview at TOBE's sleek headquarters in downtown Yonkers. "We're not just another entertainment company—we're creating an ecosystem where business acumen meets creative expression. That's why we're called The Order of Business Entertainment."

The company's portfolio includes music production, independent film financing, podcast network development, and most recently, a virtual reality entertainment platform that has caught the attention of major tech investors.

## Local Roots, Global Vision

A lifelong Yonkers resident, Crittermake speaks passionately about keeping the company's base in the city despite opportunities to relocate to Manhattan or Los Angeles.

"Yonkers has an untapped creative energy and authenticity that you can't manufacture," they explain. "We're committed to developing local talent while bringing global entertainment perspectives to our community."

This commitment to Yonkers has translated into economic benefits for the area. TOBE currently employs over 45 local residents and has initiated several community programs, including a free digital media training workshop for underserved youth and quarterly arts festivals that have revitalized previously overlooked neighborhoods.

## Innovative Business Model

What distinguishes TOBE in the crowded entertainment landscape is its unique business model, which Crittermake describes as "collaborative capitalism."

"Traditional entertainment companies are built on exploitative practices," Crittermake notes. "We've redesigned the relationship between creators, distributors, and audiences. Our talent actually owns their intellectual property and receives significantly higher revenue shares than industry standards."

This approach has attracted both established artists looking for more control over their work and emerging talents seeking fair partnerships. The company's first major success came with the breakout streaming series "Yonkers After Dark," which was picked up by a major platform after generating impressive viewership on TOBE's own digital channels.

## Future Expansion

Looking ahead, Crittermake reveals ambitious plans for TOBE's future. "We're finalizing details on a 12-acre creative campus on the waterfront that will include production facilities, performance spaces, and technology labs," they share. "This isn't just about growing our business—it's about establishing Yonkers as an entertainment innovation hub."

The project, expected to break ground later this year, represents a $78 million investment and could generate hundreds of new jobs.

Industry analysts have taken notice. "What Crittermake is building represents a forward-thinking approach to entertainment business development," says media economist Dr. Jamal Washington of Columbia Business School. "They're creating a blueprint that challenges traditional power structures while remaining commercially viable—that's no small feat."

For Crittermake, the measure of success extends beyond financial metrics. "When people think of groundbreaking entertainment, I want them to think of Yonkers. Ten years ago, that would have sounded impossible. Today, it's becoming reality."
