THE TEAM
Meet our filming crew more closely
As a director, I am passionate about telling stories that are true to the human experience in a digestible way through cinema. Being born in Colombia and raised in Miami has given me a rich cultural perspective, allowing me to explore and integrate diverse nuances into my storytelling. My interdisciplinary background has ultimately always led back to one central idea : creating a world one sees themselves in. As a director, I am grateful to have the opportunity to use these skills to curate a cinematic experience that not only engages audiences but makes them feel something.
A world without culture creates no heritage and no colours. It is essential for humans to save the legacy of ancestors and for us - at least to screen and save it. By doing so, we believe that our mission and aims will be appreciated.

I've had the privilege of starting my journey through the Arts Council. Based in West Wales, I've been crafting narratives for the Poetry Archive, focusing on women's stories. I'm passionate about presenting profound themes in a way that is accessible and entertaining. This project presents an exciting opportunity for me to collaborate with women in film, thereby not only broadening the range of voices represented in cinema but also opening up new avenues of working with cultures outside the UK.

Hello yall , my name is Archer Merry and I am the production designer on this amazing project. A project like this gives those who have delt with these kind of subject and voice instead of being in the dark. This is my first time working on dance film and I can wait to work and boogie the house down.
