We are currently working on our first slate to be produced in complete autonomy and on a start-up project, which will be a service platform for the film industry and filmmakers.
We believe that not all stories have been told and that there is new angles and new perspectives and an ever changing nature of things that needs to be captured. We are curiosity driven and this is whom we produce for: a curious and sensitive audience.
Our eyes and ears are wide open.
