Reviews about our work
“What results in the end is not fodder for “America's Funniest Home Videos,” but a short, three- to five-minute artistic film that can be funny and poignant, but what separates it from a home video is that it is told in a way that any viewer can connect with and be entertained.”

“[Hanan] helped me think about the story I want to tell about my family and my children, offering a new perspective on the storytelling process. Her guidance was invaluable in narrowing my focus and she encouraged my strengths in a way that made me feel more confident in my vision. I highly recommend her class to anyone looking to develop their storytelling skills.”

“This film means a great deal to my family. It is definitely not something we could have created on our own. It is very original and true to my children at this point in their lives. There was no scripting or prompting. It is very natural.”

“Congratulations on the success of the inaugural NAHM Festival … It was one of the smoothest and technically proficient fests I certainly have ever attended. Well curated too."
"I just wanted to let you know how much me and my family enjoyed the film festival. It was really terrific, and it was particularly impactful for my son - to see young people like him passionate about a project."
