POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

In March, we traveled to the red light district of Kolkata, India to document the work of Mahima. Mahima is an organization on the frontlines of protecting some of the most vulnerable children... minor victims of sex trafficking and those in desperate need of care and protection.

What we witnessed was not just rescue, but the long, process of restoration: building trust, creating safety, and giving children the chance to reclaim their futures. This story matters, and we feel deeply grateful to help bring it to light.

Head over to friendsofmahima.org to watch the full doc

We’ve officially been accepted into the @austinfilmfest 🎉🤙🏼! Such an honor to share the stories of these brave artists — all the flowers and praise go to them; we’re just lucky enough to share their stories.

I came up with the idea for this film after I EP’d and directed a live performance with @nationaloperaukraine in Orlando in 2022, which raised over $800,000 USD for @unicef @razom.for.ukraine and @olenazelenska_official foundation. That project had the honor of airing nationally on @pbs and taking home an EMMY. And the result of that project was that we had the chance to get our press credentials and head to war to share the real stories of brave artists refusing to be silenced.

Shout out to a few of the many crew and cast that made this possible:
