ShadowForge Media LLC

ShadowForge Media is a multi-IP entertainment studio building stories, sports, and technology under one roof. We develop combat sports events, streaming experiences, children’s characters, film labels, review platforms, and wellness tech that all live inside the same connected universe.

Mission

Our mission is to build worlds that feel real enough to live in. We create stories, events, and tools that entertain, empower, and give people something to belong to — whether it’s a kid holding a ForgeyWorld plush, a fan watching a Forge Fight League card, or a family using AuraLink to better understand each other.

Vision

ShadowForge Media is built to be a studio where ideas move across mediums without getting watered down. A fighter’s story can become a series. A kids’ character can lead to songs, books, and interactive spaces. A piece of tech can start as a family tool and grow into a platform.

We’re not chasing trends. We’re building IP that can last — with clear values, strong characters, and room to grow over years, not weeks.

What we make

  • Live combat sports events with custom championship titles
  • Original streaming shows, creator content, and indie films
  • Children’s IP with music, books, and collectible plush
  • Feature films and series under a boutique genre label
  • Ratings media that respects audiences and creators
  • Wellness technology designed for real families and classrooms

Founder

Daequan Winbush is the founder and CEO of ShadowForge Media. He leads both the creative and business strategy across the studio’s IPs — from Forge Fight League and 40RUM Films to ForgeyWorld and AuraLink.

His work centers on resilience, family, and survival — building stories and products for people who don’t usually see themselves at the center of the narrative.
