Our mission is to tell stories that illuminate unexplored areas and spark new and meaningful conversations in societies around the world. We believe that the artistic and journalistic essence of filmmaking must take precedence over commercial objectives. Therefore we strive to work on subjects that have been overlooked and have been left out of the mainstream conversation. We aim to address our audience as equals and entertain and inform on the highest creative and narrative level. Along with this we challenge ourselves in expanding the possibilities of documentary film as a viable medium in reaching audiences in ways narratives alone cannot. Combining creative elements praised in narrative with the raw dimension of documentary allow us to achieve more compelling work.
