In a world suspended between reality and imagination, a child lives alongside an adult who cannot truly see him.

But when everything around him remains still and distant, he makes an extreme decision in its simplicity: a silent and radical act, devoid of anger but full of desire. A choice as definitive as it is innocent, one that only the pure and free gaze of a child could conceive.

Our mission is to affirm the short film as a film in every respect and to restore its cultural and collective dimension in cinemas. For this reason, we have built a distribution model that goes beyond simple festival participation: we select a limited and exclusive catalogue, curated by our creative director, in order to dedicate a tailor-made path to each work.
We collaborate with a global network of festivals and cinemas and ensure that every film is seen by qualified juries and programmers. For each work we develop a personalized strategy that may include: theatrical premieres, Q&A events, director interviews, editorial and marketing plans; we schedule the world premiere, handle promotion and festival relations, monitor deadlines, and coordinate sales to platforms. Our approach combines strategic analysis with a well-established network of contacts; we aim to ensure that programmers actually watch your film, helping it stand out among thousands of submissions.
Humanity and transparency are our core values: we work side by side with authors and production companies, listening and building trust, because every project is first and foremost a shared relationship. The experience gained with our own short films has led us to open distribution to external works as well, bringing films to festivals such as Nastri d’Argento, Alice nella Città, Cortinametraggio, Visioni Italiane, Marateale, Saturnia, and many others.
Today we are looking for new stories to support: we believe in short cinema and in the value of emerging voices, and we make our experience and network available to those who want to take their film beyond the boundaries of a niche.
