At the foot of the mountain

Documentary
 

Mr Herbatka, a person who closes his eyes and sees mountains has not been able to explore the peaks due to change; a change in mobility that comes with getting old. As we follow him on his quotidian life in a museum-like home, he proves that we are still able to be in places without physically being there. 

We accompany him from sunrise to sunset as he shows us the importance of effort and memories. Through visuals, sounds and the combination of the past and present, we walk the trails with him through the power of imagination.

The Yaz - In the making
Short Film 

‘The Yaz' explores Lahcen, an Amazigh surfer who takes us on a journey through his connection to the land. Surf becomes a cultural expression, weaving the Amazigh flag colours through the water; sky, and mountain, transforming the ocean into a canvas of cultural expression.
The film explores freedom rooted in a deep connection to cultural identity, tribal unity, and the magic of nature, all while honouring Morocco's roots.

I rewrite, rewrite / El Topo
Short Experimental

While living in Berlin, you notice that you spend half the day in movement; going from point Z to X, X to Y, Y to Z...

That is a notion all Berliners and people who have migrated there all share. Either on the S-Bahn or the U-Bahn, either way, we all fill in that timing period differently. We wanted to explore that whilst connecting it to one's thought process. Berlin's transportation was a wonderful way to play around with as on the 'Ring' itself  allows and forces the train to journey in a loop in its way of never really beginning nor ending. 

An experimental film inspired by Katsushika Hokusai's Haiku; A poppy blooms. We follow Pablo as he chases trains to not lose his train of thought.

El Silencio Loco - To Be Released
Short Fiction Film  : Art Assistant & Production Assistant

Tension - To Be Released
Documentary : Sound Mixer 
Nick is a pianist who uses rock climbing as a form of training for his music. As he preps for his first performance in over a year, Nick reflects on the relationship between his two greatest passions.

When a woman forms an unlikely connection with a stranger, he begins to take on the role of the dead brother she’s missing.

Director’s statement: (Hector Prats) El Silencio Loco is about the unlikely meeting of two strangers that leads to their mutual healing. It is a hopeful daydream confronting the all-consuming fear of losing a loved one, drawing from a compulsion I had as a kid of thinking about family members or myself dying, as a way to proactively cope with that fear

The film is an affirmation that whenever life shakes us with changes and we feel alone, we can encounter kindred souls in strangers, to connect, heal, and grow.

This is not a story about possession or ghosts, but one of connection, of spiritual intersection. How do we carry the legacy of those we have lost? How do we live on through each other, through our shared humanity?
