ABOUT US:
Filmmaking is to make sense out of life. We participate in ethical observation and respect everything we confront. We observe it with a humane sense, as we can learn from it.
We are fascinated with real life, as we know that nothing can be so surreal than life itself. In the storytelling process we see ourselves as sculptors; our duty is to carve the essence out of the large story.
We believe in documentary filmmaking and we follow it’s principles;
We treat reality creatively.

His own art specializes in the genre of docufiction. In it dreamlike-states are mixed with the daily life. The most common themes for him are impermanence, absurdism and surrealism.
