Super proud to see our recent spot for Meta's Horizon Worlds being featured on Little Black Book!
It was such a wonderful experience filming in both the metaverse and our physical world. Getting to tell the stories of two incredible trans creators.
The short spot highlights how VR can be a safe way to gain insight and perspective around gender, thus creating gender-affirming experiences that allow people to be treated the way they see themselves. The fear of coming out is still rampant. A recent report shows that 40% of Trans People, mostly youth, have attempted suicide. VR provides a safe outlet to avoid potential retaliation from family members and can be a therapeutic step for trans people to feel like there is hope beyond where they may live.

It was so exciting to reunite with our Fraud team at Tribeca Film Festival. After two years of stop and start production due to covid, it felt like the perfect festival for us to premiere our film.
Plus we made it onto Getty Images! That feels like a right of passage.
Directed and animated by Five Fathom's amazing Claire Pinegar in collaboration with Jeremy Asher Lynch, Red Bull Race & Surfing is headed to Breck Film Fest this September.
An animated documentary for Red Bull Surfing’s mini series ‘In Plain Sight’.Surfing’s history – from Africa to Polynesia to the Americas – is one that’s rich, diverse, and incredibly nuanced.
So much so, that we are only beginning to scratch the surface and understand it. Voiced by Selema Masekela, the film explores the varied roots of surfing’s origin and its subsequent cultural evolution into what we recognize today.
In partnership with 1 Planet One People, a collective activation that supports climate action, racial and social equality.
Our multi-talented director & photographer Kell Mitchell's work was featured in adam&eveDDB's 'The Avenues Youth Project'.
Their annual charity print sale was back again this year, in digital form.
From adam&eveDDB:
For the second year in a row, we’re excited to be supporting our friends at The Avenues Youth Project. After the year we’ve all had, we were left with the distinct feeling that there was still more we could achieve together, and we are thrilled we get to build on that relationship for another year.
We put a call out for work which focuses on championing diversity and the stories of people of colour. The response is this set of beautiful and kind donations which we can’t wait for you to get bidding on.
Super proud of our Kell!
