“Like a flower that somehow emerges through concrete, love can blossom even in a space of unfathomable violence.”

The World Stone Skimming Championships are held on the tiny west coast island of Easdale. But tensions are mounting between the small island community and skimmers whose abilities have far outgrown the limitations of the 63 metre arena. Easdale, we can relate. If the championships get any more popular, we hear Saudi Arabia is interested in hosting 🥲

Charming, funny and hugely entertaining: Sink or Skim is one of our very favourite films of the year. Don’t miss it. Tickets in bio!

“Birds of War” is premiering at the 2026 #SundanceFilmFestival!

As the Editor of this feature doc, a lot of hard work has gone into this film over the past 2 years. It’s been a rewarding journey working with an unbelievably warm and talented team, and a privilege to get to know directors Habak & Janay and their story.

- “The love story of a London-based Lebanese journalist and a Syrian activist and cameraman as told through 13 years of personal archives across revolutions, war, and exile.”

#TrailerThrowback Have You Seen The Beast? by Will Hewitt & Austen McCowan

After hearing about a couple's late-night encounter with a mysterious big cat in the Welsh countryside, two filmmakers decide to investigate by conducting phone interviews with local witnesses, exploring the idea of belief and providing a space for vivid personal experiences.
