Today is one of those moments that reminds us why we said yes to the long days, the late nights, the uncertainty, and the relentless belief in a vision.

As independent filmmakers, there is something incredibly special about watching years of hard work, sacrifice, and sweat equity come to life on the big screen. It isn’t something we take for granted. It’s a blessing.

Today we’re proud to share the official trailer for Splash City!

To every cast member, every crew member, every creative who poured their talent into this project… Thank You. Your passion, commitment, and belief in this story made all the difference.

A special thank you to @berner415 for the opportunity to work alongside you and help bring this vision to life.

This is more than a trailer. It’s the beginning of something we’ve poured our hearts into, and we can’t wait for the world to experience it.

Here’s to independent filmmaking, chasing big dreams, and proving that with the right people, vision becomes reality. @lionsgate

5 steps on how to make a movie and get it distributed…

JK. This industry is has too many gatekeepers. You can do it though, remember there’s no one way to get where you want.

We HUSTLE over here.

Imagine jumping into this industry with no connects. We learned the fundamentals and got goooood at them 🤓💪🏽🎥

Then we let our creativity, quality of our work, and how we connect and collaborate speak for us.

Now we made a movie… and it’s coming to theaters this July @lionsgate

Much love to all my Day 1’s I’ve been creating with… you know who you are 🎞️🙏🏽 taken in San Francisco, California by @oh_davy

After years of work, Esistenza is officially finished. 🕯️

It started with a hike in Cinque Terre in 2016 and a tiny chapel I never forgot. In 2020, every plan I had changed, so I made a new one. I flew to Italy and made this film with an incredible local crew who became family.

Then, in all the COVID chaos and moving around, the film files were lost. For a long time, I wasn’t sure this story would ever see the light. This year, we found them! The team jumped right back in, and we finished the film right away.

Esistenza is a film about forgiveness and about choosing to live. Finishing it feels like doing both.

Thank you to every person who believed in this story, and who waited with me. I can’t wait to share it with you!

A big thanks to @livforsythe for breathing life back into this film after watching it and encouraging me to finish it and submit it. 🥹🩵
