HIGHLIGHTING SOLUTIONS
We aim to raise awareness about today’s greatest challenges, while exploring their possible solutions with an optimistic and critical mind.
SUPPORTING CHANGE-MAKERS
Around the planet, outstanding people and organizations strive on a daily basis to build a more beautiful world. We want to support them.
REVIVING HOPE
At times of rampant anxiety and overwhelming pessimism regarding the future, we wish to remind ourselves that change is always possible.
What vision of the world are we longing for?
What vision of the world or personal motivations are urging us to act? Is it a feeling of injustice we’re willing to repair? Is it fear we’re yearning to transform into hope? And what would the world look like if these intuitions become real?
How shall that story be told?
We live in a fast-paced world, in which one can easily feel overwhelmed by the continuous and often pessimistic flow of information.
We aim to balance that trend through solutions-oriented stories addressed at the right audience in the right format (e.g. documentary, fiction film, TV series, web-video, podcast, comic book etc).
Which story can best embody that vision/ work towards it?
Our entire world is made of stories. Since ever in History, human beings have defined themselves, their values and culture through them. Stories shape who we are, how we think and how we behave.
How will the story reach the right audience and trigger the right impact?
Impact production is a well-established concept in the Anglo-saxon world yet slow to emerge in Europe. It has however the potential to revolutionize film’s production and distribution.
Thanks to our team’s professional background and network, we design strategic campaigns allowing to maximize a project’s outreach and impact along its entire production line.
We believe our work speaks for itself. Browse our most recent projects below.
