Films that could not exist before now.

History that cameras never met. Brands that want the impossible. Worlds built from scratch. This is where they get made.

01 · The first film

Rufus

A firefighter from 1800s Salem, resurrected from a wallet-sized photo and a family archive. He left four documents behind; every frame I made is tied to one of them.
