Who We Are

Founded in 2023 and based in Kobe, our studio was established by a team of filmmakers and creatives with deep ties to the Kansai region.

 

Since 2021, we have been screening "To Heal the Heart" across Japan, witnessing the profound impact that cinema can have on people’s lives. Through this journey, we have met many who continue to suffer from the effects of disasters such as the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and the Great East Japan Earthquake. Their stories have reinforced our belief in the power of film—not only as a form of storytelling but as a means of healing and connection.

In an era marked by war, natural disasters, and personal struggles, we are dedicated to creating films that offer solace and understanding. We believe that cinema has the ability to ease suffering, spark conversation, and bring people together across borders. Our mission is to craft and deliver stories that resonate deeply, inspiring hope and empathy in audiences worldwide.

Psychiatrist Ahn Geungchang, author of "To Heal the Heart" posed a critical question:
"How will our society choose to respond to human vulnerability? "

"Will we create a world where those in pain can find healing, or will we become a society that turns away from them?"

At our core, we are storytellers driven by a vision of a more compassionate world. Through the power of film, we aim to foster understanding, resilience, and connection—bringing meaningful stories to audiences in Japan and beyond.
