We believe in the power of unconventional art when blended with idiosyncratic passion. Our mission is simple: to inspire and empower filmmakers to elevate their craft, infuse their work with authenticity, and create films that resonate deeply with the heart. Whether that’s a sappy film or an unapologetic banger. Transform your career by revolutionizing your craft.
In doing so, you forget that thing that makes you f*cking tick.
The thing that ignites a fire in you.
That thing that sets you apart from the thousands of other filmmakers out there.
“Amar” is not for everyone. Here’s the thing - in an industry that’s clouded with the hottest trends or what’s “in”, it’s easier than ever to just “ride the wave” and “hope that something sticks”..
