Our Start

Fashion

After the fashion brand was founded, as McCorklen’s first product, Israel McCorkle started designing and selling women's handbags locally, online, and in school, called “The Pill Bag.” The bag started to catch attention very quickly, as the young Fashion Designer and Entrepreneur was establishing his first business in his teenage years.

Art

Israel McCorkle established the McCorkle Museum because of the love that he had for art his whole life. Israel McCorkle not only created art, but made a community out of his artwork for it to be thrown on a pedestal, he came up with the McCorkle Museum not long after he started showcasing his art online and digitally, eventually leading him to want to turn art into a full on business by selling his work.

Film Production and Media

Israel McCorkle loved filmmaking and was always interested in acting and making one of his own movies, with him also loving comedy and had a passion for making people laugh. He first stumbled across an idea of making one of his book ideas into an award winning film in the future, that led him to come up with the company name “McCtainment,” formally being Israel McCorkle Productions.
