Film

A selection of films we produced

Leaf

2021 · Short film

A man's never-ending fight against nature takes a dramatic, but fun, turn when he discovers a new invention. An absurdist look at technology and taking joy in the little things.

London, 1957. A Soviet spy, a thick pea soup fog and a meeting on Bus 11. Nobody on board knows what is about to change hands.
