OUR FILMMAKERS

We met over ten years ago in Los Angeles and still believe that when there is a solid team behind the scenes, it always “translates” on-screen.

We speak a variety of languages, and bring diverse points of view about the world to the table. Above all, we are united by our multicultural mindset, our love of adventure and discovery, and our passion for international filmmaking.
