Our Mission

We dig out buried film gems not showing in cinema complexes that everyone knows. We seek independent films going unnoticed that promote well-crafted stories that bring the unique flavors of international intrigue, culture, mythos, moral juxtaposition, character nuance, and confounding realities and interpersonal relations to audiences.
