Island Of Swallows

Documentary - In Production
In Cozumel, Mexico, locals fight to protect their fragile marine ecosystem from the devastating impacts of mass tourism, confronting corruption, greed, and political obstacles along the way.

Social Impact Mission:
Why are the coral reefs in Cozumel dying? What we found wasn’t a simple answer, but a layered portrait of systemic neglect, environmental disconnection, and cultural tension. Cozumel, a small island overwhelmed by cruise tourism and broken infrastructure, becomes a lens to explore how we as societies often trade sustainability for short-term gain until nature begins to collapse.

Through partnerships with ocean conservation and sustainable tourism NGOs and brands, we aim to use Island of Swallows as a catalyst to push for improved travel habits for the average tourist, as well as policy change to help protect coral reefs in Cozumel and beyond.

The Longer You Bleed

Documentary - Distribution

HotDocs 2025 Selection; winner of the Fipresci Prize from Beyond Borders Festival

The award-winning documentary follows a group of displaced Ukrainians in Berlin as they navigate the psychological toll of witnessing war through their smartphones. In an era where global conflict is increasingly mediated through screens, The Longer You Bleed explores the emotional detachment and compassion fatigue that result from constant exposure to traumatic imagery.

Social Impact Mission:
In an era where global conflict is increasingly mediated through screens, young people are routinely exposed to distressing content — from graphic images of violence to the normalization of conflict across online platforms. This constant exposure does more than shape what they see; it affects their emotional well-being, their sense of safety, and how they engage with the world around them. 

We aim to use film and community engagement to create space for young people to better understand digital trauma and to explore pathways toward an internet that prioritizes digital rights and mental well-being. Our mission is to foster more informed and ethical engagement with online content and global crises, particularly for young populations most susceptible to algorithmic violence.

This Is My Beautiful House

Documentary - In production 

Less than 1% of the world's buildings and homes are built by professional architects. This is my beautiful house, which explores the other 99 percent through the residents' lives and innovative architectural work. In a perspective that spans the entire globe, European cities and architecture are placed in dialogue with cities and architects of the global south, where "feeling of home" must be created despite global tensions and under constant threat of 'displacement' and discrimination. Through this global cinematic dialogue, a different and more inclusive vision of cities emerges.

Social Impact Mission

Urban development debates are often dominated by institutions, policies, and professional expertise, leaving out the voices of those who inhabit and transform cities daily.

Through film and community engagement, This Is My Beautiful House aims to:

• Center resident-led perspectives on housing and urban life

• Challenge dominant narratives around architecture, informality, and legitimacy

• Foster dialogue on displacement, discrimination, and the right to the city

The project is designed for screenings and conversations in cultural institutions, architecture schools, urban studies programs, and community spaces engaged with housing justice and inclusive city-making.

El Espiral del Silencio (The Spiral of Silence)

Feature Documentary | In Development
“Spiral of Silence” is a documentary that blends observational footage and interviews to provide an intimate look at the devastating effects of political conflict on families in Guatemala. 

Social Impact Mission:
Political violence does not end when conflicts formally conclude. Its effects persist in private spaces, shaping family dynamics, intergenerational memory, and collective identity.

Through film and community engagement, The Spiral of Silence aims to:

• Illuminate the intergenerational impact of political trauma

• Create space for dialogue around memory, silence, and reconciliation

• Support educational and community-based conversations on post-conflict healing and social repair.

• The project is intended for impact-driven screenings in cultural institutions, universities, and community spaces, particularly in contexts affected by historical or ongoing political violence.
