Comment: Fails WP:NCOMPANY, requires significant coverage about the company (not the films or the company's principal) in multiple independent secondary sources. The company's website is a primary source, as are press releases and interviews with company staff. Also noting LinkedIn and IMDb are not reliable or acceptable sources either.

Proevska founded the Arts Council in 1991, which is registered under the non-profit code of the State of New York.[5] Under the auspices of the Arts Council, she has produced many live events and projects that celebrate Macedonian cultural heritage. As the Arts Council’s Executive Director, Proevska initiated discussion with the City Council of West Dover for the erection of a monument to the Macedonian-born, Vermont state senator and author, Stoyan Christowe.[5][6]
In 2022, Proevska wrote, produced and directed My American Pilgrimage, a biographical documentary about Christowe's extraordinary immigrant life, also under the auspices of the Macedonian Arts Council.[7][8]
