We gravitate toward stories that explore complex and nuanced characters and that are rooted in theme. We love using genre to examine what it is that truly makes us human.

Our work has obtained distribution through CraveTV and DUST. Individually, our content has also been seen on platforms such as Lifetime, OUTtv, VIFF Connect, Telus and Netflix.
