In 2001, Two Parrot Productions was founded by Jessica Kizorek and her father Bill Kizorek. In 1998, Bill had sold a company he built for 20 years. After having retired in his 50s, Bill was eager to keep busy as a traveling entrepreneur and therefore encouraged his college-aged daughter to start her own business. Jessica was only 21 when she founded Two Parrot Productions as a junior in college at the University of Colorado - Boulder. Bill provided the crucial role of mentorship to help her roll up her sleeves and create a brand, website, and marketing to earn clients and respect in the field. During the early years of their company's development, Two Parrot staff filmed videos for a variety of different businesses for marketing purposes. They worked for hotels, restaurants, attorneys, nightclubs, and some of the most famous spirit brands like Belvedere Vodka and Moet Hennesey. While Jessica did most of the camera work and editing in the early days, she slowly began to build a network of other video-related film professionals that would allow her to focus on building the business.

In 2005, both Bill and Jessica enrolled in a personal development course offered by Landmark Education. Their Self-Expression and Leadership Program lasted 3 months, and over that time Bill and Jessica designed a community project through which they donated their video production services to a global nonprofit called World Concern. Bill traveled all the way to Thailand, where World Concern staff were on the frontlines getting aid to homeless and addicted Thai youth. Neither one of them realized the impact that this video would have on the World Concern organization, and later on Bill and Jessica’s lifepath. After the video footage was edited into a 3 minute montage, the World Concern staff was so blown away the whole office cried while watching the video. They were incredibly grateful that someone had captured their program in a way that they could share with a global audience of donors and potential supporters. It was then that Jessica and Bill realized their capacity to donate video production services to help amplify the voice of extremely deserving nonprofits. 

The next trip they donated was to Romania and Moldova with Northwest Medical Teams International. The father daughter duo realized that they could give a leveraged gift by donating their frequent flyer miles to get camera crews to international locations being served by American NGOs. Between 2005 and 2013, Bill and Jessica continued to organize and donate free video shoots all around the world through their company Two Parrot Productions. However, there came a time when it became obvious that the philanthropic side of Two Parrot Productions really deserved its own 501(c)(3) nonprofit. 

In 2015, the brand Eyes On Your Mission was born. At first we used fiscal agents to raise money for our 3 core programs: 1) Video grants to nonprofits, 2) Academy and education, and 3) Apprenticeships and mentorships. Before we received our 501(c)(3) status; Two Parrot Productions, The Center For Social Change, and the Florida International University Foundation all served as fiscal agents to raise and manage money for our charitable programs. 

2017 marked the year we received our official nonprofit designation from the IRS, we continued to focus on our 3 core programs
