The STUDIO
WHO WE ARE
We are a Catholic entertainment studio committed to producing inspiring content imbued with solid Christian values. We are focused on reaching families who long for uplifting, wholesome, and trustworthy entertainment that can edify people’s faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
We are unapologetically Catholic, which means we create content centered around the Divine, prioritizing the inclusion of God in our narratives. Our commitment is deliberate; we refuse to compromise by crafting stories that, although positive and uplifting, shy away from acknowledging God as the principal author of all good, out of a fear of appearing “divisive”, "preachy" or “too Catholic”. We firmly assert that narratives promoting self-improvement without explicitly recognizing the significance of God in our journey are inherently misleading, regardless of their charm. Worse still is the concerning trajectory that media and entertainment have taken, where sinister themes are increasingly prevalent, veering towards cynicism. Characters embodying Satan, witches, warlocks, and demons are portrayed as allies and benefactors of the human race, blurring the lines between truth and lies, between the real and the counterfeit.
To provide a response to this darkness, we seek to provide entertainment founded on three transcendental Christian qualities: the true, the good and the beautiful. The goal is to offer families powerful, faith-filled, inspiring media that they can trust, and to show the power behind the Biblical stories in a way that is unique. We adhere to a process of prayerful discernment in all our conceptual and production stages, and we are guided by a group of advisors in different fields, such as theology, history, philosophy, psychology and creative processes.
What distinguishes our studio is our dedication to quality and our distinctive approach to style. While many animation studios, like Disney, Marvel, and Pixar, are recognized for their signature designs, 3NITY Studios aims to create a unique style for each project, maintaining a consistent commitment to excellence, but creating a brand for each project.
The Team
Frida Abaroa
Founder & CEO
What moved me to start this studio was a long conviction regarding the impact that film and animation have on people. We can see the negative way in which the secular world continues to dive into darker themes, and it has gone unchallenged for too long. Therefore, I took a bold step in faith, answering what feels like a calling from God, to produce quality entertainment that redirects people to Him.
​
I boast on one thing alone: God qualifies the called. It is Him who has provided me with the vision for our projects as He connected the dots between my previous academic studies, work and life experiences. It is Him also who has aided me to gather the team that is working on our projects.
​
I want to provide parents, who are as concerned as I am, with trustworthy media that will not only entertain but build up their children's knowledge and understanding of God. This is out of a sincere desire to share the beauty I encountered in a relationship with Jesus, which changed my life completely. I would like others, especially the younger generations, to experience this love that comes out of closeness to Him.
Julio Gonzales Arce
Co-Founder & Production Director
I’ve collaborated with some of the most important national and international studios on films, series, and cinematics for games, as well as on commercials for recognized product brands.
With over 14 years of experience in audiovisual creation. I am committed to bringing viewers high-quality series, and amazing stories faithful to the biblical narratives that can influence new generations and reawaken the faith.
​
All our hard work is offered to God to continue building His kingdom. He has been guiding us through prayer, discernment, and the advice of our theological board. I am so excited to show you what we are producing for you!
Ethan Pierce
Co-Founder & Creative Director
I am so excited to be part of this team because imagination has impacted my faith so significantly. I think that to visualize for others the beauty of God in the way that it’s been shown to me is the greatest way I can serve the world and help people to develop and strengthen their faith.
The other side of this is that I find it incredibly sad when misinterpretations of who God is have led many people to leave the church or to stay while believing something about God that isn’t true. Through the media we’re creating, I have a feeling of relief that we are showing God Himself expressing His goodness visually through the Catholic lens - especially in all those moments that we find so conflicting in the Bible.
​
Working on this project has continuously expanded my conception of God and His influence in my life. I want everyone to have an even greater experience in their own relationship with God.

MAGUI ARROYO
Co-Founder & Concept Lead
Although I've always loved traditional art, what really fascinates me is digital art. I've learned everything I know by exploring on my own, researching, practicing and constantly learning.
​
Besides technique, what I love most about art is storytelling. Because I am a big fan of stories and I always look for each of my drawings to have its own narrative.
​
My education has also been forged thanks to the FASTA movement, with values that have shaped me as a person, as an artist and as a Catholic in my love for God, His church and my country.
​
I feel very proud to be part of this amazing animation studio. I am excited to have the opportunity to collaborate in creating productions that can witness to our faith and create a great apostolate, reaching out through art to everyone.
I can't wait to show you what God has been inspiring us to do as part of this great work!

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
We are sensitive to the concerning trajectory that media and entertainment have taken, where sinister themes are increasingly prevalent. While it's easy to acknowledge these issues, talk, as they say, is cheap. Remaining inactive is at the cost of children’s innocence. We've therefore chosen to take decisive action. For many, the enormity of this challenge may seem insurmountable, but my husband and I have offered God our two fishes and five loaves of bread; we begun by putting our money and the sweat of our brow where our mouth is.
We recognize that more souls are being lost today in the battleground of entertainment than in any other battlefield. This stark reality has ignited a fervent desire within us to engage in a counter-revolution to reclaim souls for God. Additionally, we've been deeply troubled by the declining presence of youth in churches and the inadequate catechesis that fails to equip them as resilient Christians, unafraid to uphold righteousness at any cost. This need within the Christian family made us eager to reimagine catechesis by using engaging entertainment.
We believe in the inseparable unity of Truth and Love. As Cardinal Burke has written, “We cannot truly love another person while also disregarding or betraying the Truth which should inform every relationship. The fundamental approach to the crisis of the family, of society, and of the Church is the knowledge of Truth and the practice of it with love.”
If you share our concerns about the state of entertainment, we invite you to join forces with us. Together, we possess the power to effect change and redirect the course of entertainment. Let us unite in our mission to re-center the arts in Christ, who enriches and elevates the soul. May our Lord Jesus Christ infuse His Holy Spirit in the work we do so that through it He may inspire all who "come and see".
