Fellonica Film is an independent production company and consulting agency, whose track record is based on the previous experiences of the producers.
We understand audio-visual media as a chance to build worlds (worlding), to facilitate positive and constructive processes for their protagonists, makers included (place-making / consent based siting) and consequently change what is not allowing society to flourish in the legislation (policy-making).
We believe that not all stories have been told and that there are new angles and new perspectives and an ever changing nature of things that needs to be captured. We are curiosity and all five senses driven, and this is whom we produce for: a curious, open-minded and sensitive audience. If only audio-visuals could not only make you see and hear, but also smell, taste and touch, we would be there, creating embodied experiences. For now mainly our eyes and ears are wide open.
