Diva Communications

Diva Communications, Inc. is a programming and production company that specializes in video for broadcast, cable, Internet and marketing use. Founded by Dr. Debra Gonsher Vinik in 1985, Diva Communications has produced 17 documentaries on faith-based and social justice issues and has successfully ventured into short-form video for the web and mobile devices.

Debra Gonsher Vinik started Diva Communications in 1985, after stints at Bravo, CBS and Twentieth Century Fox. The company initially made production deals with Orion Pictures and Fox Hills Video, and produced a wide-ranging series of home video offerings including How to Read a Woman Like a Book, How to Become the Love of His Life, Bizarre Sports Incredible Feats, and Get Rich Quick By Beating the Odds.

In 1995, the company merged with David Vinik’s Davideo Productions, which owned the full complement of production and post-production equipment. Diva's first film production after the merger was Embracing Judaism: Reaching In, Reaching Out, Reaching Up. It resulted in the book Embracing Judaism: Narratives of Personal Faith published by Jason Aronson. Since then the company has written, created, filmed and edited 17 documentaries, all of which have aired on major television outlets and screened in film festivals worldwide. These films address such subjects as community and inclusion for persons with disabilities, hunger in America, intimate partner violence and healthcare.

Diva Communications recently finished Beauty of Their Dreams., which aired on ABC affiliated stations in April through July 2016, and focused on the role of people of faith advocating for girls' education worldwide. Beauty of Their Dreams aims to (1) disseminate information about the important advocacy efforts undertaken by people of faith to advance girls’ education; and (2) mobilize faith-based communities and organizations to adopt girls’ education as a priority focus of social justice outreach.

Diva Communications also produces video content for Web and mobile apps. In 2010, the company began creating the short videos Morning Thoughts and Evening Meditations for the Odyssey Networks' mobile app Call on Faith. Though no longer operational, Call on Faith was a library of short inspirational videos, available both online and on mobile devices.
