BOOM! 💥 Last night we screened Kim's Video at London's and legendary indie cinematographer/filmmaker Sean Price Williams (Good Time, The Sweet East) popped in to join our Q&A with co-director (and friend) - beaming in from Brooklyn - and Dom Hicks, founder of - London's indie grindhouse cinema!

We had an almost full-house, loads of buzz, and some great questions from a super thrilled audience!

A fab way for us to start our adventure in eventised documentary distribution 👀👀

Just a few tickets left for our DOC screening of AS THE TIDE COMES IN + director Q&A with Juan Palacios at Cameo Cinema tomorrow night - in partnership with Take One Action Film Festivals

AS THE TIDE COMES IN tells the story of the small Danish island of Mandø, where the 27 remaining residents face the growing threat of climate change, particularly rising sea levels, and the struggle to maintain their community life as the island is increasingly vulnerable to flooding.

“Impressively, the film walks that delicate line of both celebrating Mandø as an entirely unique place, an island lost in time, and holding it up as a King Canute-esque symbol for humanity’s ongoing fight to hold back the tide.” - Nikki Baughan, Screen Daily
