We are proud to announce our March 2020 project, A WINTER BBQ
A dedicated father must cook a feast for his family before time runs out. A heartwarming and bleak story about family.
(what do you think about the title and logline? does it sound like a film you’d want to see?)

Directed by Mary Waireri
