Fearless Filmmaking

Exciting news! 🎉🎬 "HARD FALLS", a short film by Alina Kulesh, is premiering on CBC TV this Thursday, February 22nd at 11:30 pm! Available after that on CBC Gem

When Alina and I met, it was clear she had something profound on her hands-- from the material to the cast & crew she had selected, magic was in the air. Entering late into the storytelling vortex with this team as an EP & Assistant director was the highlight of that balmy fall of 2021, and I am so excited to finally share Alina's vision with you.

In HARD FALLS, three best friends navigate the complexities of their lives, facing hardships at home as they part ways for the evening. Anchored in themes of immigration, family dynamics, girlhood and mental health. It’s an exploration of the nuanced loneliness we often feel as we grow up.

Congratulations to the entire team on this amazing accomplishment! 🎥✨

Striving to leave the world a little nicer than the way we found it. The “why” has always been rooted in that philosophy. We may be teaching you how to make films, but our deep dream is that you use the medium of moving pictures to make waves: give a voice to the voiceless & build businesses & films that weave your “Why” into the fabric of your big beautiful film business.
