Marie-Eva Volmar shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Marie-Eva, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
While all three are critical, Integrity is the most important, as it is the unseen currency of trust and the foundation for everything you build. Intelligence and Energy are powerful assets; they represent capacity and drive, respectively. But without the governance of Integrity, they can be easily misdirected. I’ve personally experienced professional betrayal and seen how high intellect, coupled with intense energy, can be wielded cynically to cause massive damage.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am Marie-Eva Volmar, a Creative Entrepreneur, Advocate, and the Founder of Dallada Films Inc. Our studio is an independent production company dedicated to empowering creative minorities and proving that conscious, authentic storytelling is the most powerful and profitable commodity in the global entertainment market today. We are building a sustainable independent model through a diversified revenue stream, including strategic licensing, digital platform and premium merchandising. Ultimately, Dallada Films is here to inspire healing and prove that an authentic, uncompromising voice is not a liability; it’s the new frontier of global market leadership for the years to come.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
The moment that most profoundly shaped my worldview came early in my schooling, when I faced severe discrimination and physical abuse because of my skin color, despite having white parents. As a young Haitian adoptee growing up in Canada, I was subjected to relentless bullying—groups of kids would gang up on me, and older teenagers would follow me, throwing rocks and shouting slurs. That constant physical and emotional violence made one truth unmistakable: nothing would be handed to me.
This was not a moment of defeat, but the forge of my work ethic. I learned early that the world was unequal, and that survival, let alone success, would require outworking everyone else.That pressure shaped the path I follow today. It instilled a non-negotiable commitment to excellence, which is why Dallada Films can execute high-stakes, time-compressed international productions such as Lightning Interim with precision and intention. It also fuels our mission to champion authorship and authenticity for creative minorities, proving that conscious depth is a strength, not a liability. Most of all, it taught me that while external chaos is sometimes inevitable, internal clarity, resilience and persistence is a choice you have to make everyday.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me two things that success often obscures: radical clarity about what is essential and the true meaning of unconditional authorship and ownership. Success can be intoxicating and can make one reliant on external validation—views, ratings, and financial metrics. Suffering, particularly the profound kind I experienced (from being orphaned, adopted and bullied to experiencing housing instability and recovering from a severe accident), strips away everything external, leaving you with only your core essence.
Struggles will teach you that your greatest strength is not your intelligence or your energy, but the unbreakable internal spiritual, emotional, and philosophical structure you build when everything else is gone. Going through the fire will not only force you to build your house on a solid foundation, but build a rock solid foundation first. This structure is what allowed Dallada Films to bet its first launch, Lightning Interim, on conviction, because we already know the cost of the alternative.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
The cultural value I protect at all costs is authorship-ownership, which I define as the right to fully own and define one’s cultural narrative, identity, and personal truth without compromise. This is deeply personal and is the driving force behind Dallada Films.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What will you regret not doing?
My deepest potential regret would be not fully becoming all that my Creator intended me to be. My greatest desire is to fulfil my purpose and finish my course with gladness. My life has been dedicated to breaking free from generational curses and ensuring my journey serves as proof that overcoming major setbacks and accomplishing dreams is possible.
