The project stands for making independent, artistic yet commercially viable movies independent of toys, TV shows and other products studios base films on and collect their profits from.

2005 -02-09] [cite web|url=http://www.slate.com/id/2136723/|title=The Oscar deception|work= Slate.com|date=2005 -02-09] Stover reports that movies have exclusively become commercials and licensing platforms and that, in response, the way Artemis Eternal is produced challenges issues of media control,media consolidation andmonopolies of knowledge that have created poor cinema product and experience. The project, therefore, is meant to open and inspire new possibilities and thinking in the film business model via leading by example.
