We are free to choose who we work with and how we do it. This independence means we always uphold creative, journalistic and personal integrity.
We don’t interfere with the creative process, we support it. We are the friend of the filmmaker and the film always comes first.
We have seen the greatest impact through collaboration. As such, we share what we learn and create best practice with our partners.
We are consciously and constantly evolving – because tomorrow needs new ideas. For us, problems are an opportunity for change.
We take documentaries seriously, but not ourselves.
We love what we do and we want to work with people who feel the same way.
