Pictorial
The stories others leave in parentheses. We make them the whole picture●
An intergenerational film company
Boomer + Gen-Z = Magic
Independent horror owned the culture. Independent drama is next●
Out of the Parentheses●
Queer lives, small towns, late bloomers, and writers the industry files away as an aside. We put them at the center of the frame.
Event-Level Drama●
Bold indie studios turned modest genre films into phenomena. We bring that same conviction — in craft, marketing, and theatrical release — to the intimate drama.
Two Generations●
Our partners were born fifty years apart. Every project must speak across that distance — a lifetime of witness meeting a native fluency in how the next audience watches — before it earns a green light.
Tiny,
Texas●
1988, small-town Texas. A basketball prodigy, a troubled best friend, and a long-estranged gay father who returns. Fathers and sons — biological, adopted, and chosen — shot entirely through a single 50mm lens.
Learning
to Swim●
A young gay photographer confronts the trauma of childhood abuse during a transformative weekend on Fire Island — where freedom, danger, and self-discovery blur together.
Titles Waiting Their Turn●
Ex-Pat●
A gay Ukrainian cellist navigates love, grief, and covert betrayal against the backdrop of Russia's invasion of his country.
