Producers about themselves:

What we have in common is an experience of living in more than one culture and our productions are trying to face this complexity of a globalizing world, without loosing sight for the local situation. We believe that in a world in which relations between people, communities, countries, media and markets are increasingly globalized, filmmaking should not remain national. We share an interest in the topic of borders and how to overcome them. Most of our projects relate to this subject in one way or another. Some are about social, cultural or personal borders, others are about migration or trans-nationality. Therefore we are also trying to challenge the esthetical and formal borders of the medium film. All our productions are made with a demanding audience in mind. We want our films to be as inspiring, enlightening and entertaining as possible, and always search for new ways of bringing our work to the viewer.
