Our story

After coincidentally being paired-up for a school project and consequently being called up to the principal’s office, we quickly became friends and subsequently: a creative team.

During our studies, we both pursued our love for cinema by making a detour to study Film at the School of Visual Arts in New York.

After graduation in 2020, kicked-off our professional career and received our first awards just a year later. But more important than awards, we prize ourselves on still walking in stupid every single day and we even teach others how to do the same.
