Dreamers is an immersive documentary that follows the journey of three strangers, Deborah, Bradley, and Dianne, brought together aboard The Impossible Dream, a universally accessible sailboat designed for people with disabilities. On the water, free from the barriers of an ableist society, the crew discovers not only the joy of sailing but also a deeper connection to themselves and to one another. The film reveals how thoughtful design can create freedom, accessibility, and a renewed sense of possibility.
Directed by Anna Andersen, Dreamers expands her commitment to telling stories of resilience and overlooked voices. With striking visuals and intimate storytelling, the film captures both the technical challenges of life at sea and the emotional power of community. The result is a visceral portrait of accessibility as a fundamental human right, one that allows every person to feel fully human, powerful, and free.
The Solace of Sisterhood is a short documentary filmed in collaboration with Fujifilm that follows the Caramel Curves, an all-Black female biker crew in New Orleans. Centered on co-founders Shanika “Tru” Beatty and Nakosha “Coco” Curry, the film reveals how the women embrace freedom, authenticity, and identity through the art of riding. Their story challenges stereotypes and celebrates a community built on strength, creativity, and sisterhood.
With striking visuals and intimate portraits, the film captures the complexity and vulnerability behind the roar of motorcycles. More than a profile of a biker crew, The Solace of Sisterhood is a powerful meditation on legacy, resilience, and the pursuit of joy on one’s own terms.
La Resistencia is a short documentary filmed in a palenque outside of Oaxaca, exploring the deep environmental and cultural stakes of mezcal production. Set against the backdrop of a valley under strain, the film examines the damage to soil and biodiversity, while also honoring the traditions of land stewardship that have been passed down through generations. Through the voices of mezcaleros and community members, the story reveals both what is being lost and what is being preserved.
By weaving together history, environment, and cultural resilience, La Resistencia offers a powerful glimpse into the intersection of heritage and ecological responsibility. Though created as a short film, it lays the foundation for a future feature that will dive even deeper into the complexities of mezcal, land, and community in Oaxaca.
The Madness of Moonlight is a documentary that captures the artistry behind a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between master woodworker Frank Pollaro and Bösendorfer, one of the world’s most revered piano manufacturers. The film follows the design and creation of a bespoke instrument inspired by the music of Beethoven, exploring the delicate balance between craftsmanship, imagination, and sound.
Through cinematic visuals and intimate storytelling, the documentary reflects on what it means to build something meant to last generations. More than a portrait of a piano, The Madness of Moonlight is a meditation on art itself, revealing how vision and dedication can transform raw materials into a living legacy of music.
