AUXANNA

drama, short
2026

digital / 2:14

Auxanna explores falsehood and the quiet performance of presenting a desired self. It follows a bored young cleaner who, while working for her parents’ company, invites an old friend over only to pretend the home is hers — a fragile fiction that unravels as her friend reflects on their time together.

Shot in Paris without a script and shaped through improvisation, this youthful Gen Z film reflects the personas we adopt in social interactions, echoing both the curated and idealised selves we choose to display online and offline.STARRING:

ELYAS

drama, short
2026

digital / 3:51

Elyas follows three young men drifting through Montmartre over the course of a day, building new friendships that erupt in jealousy, insecurity, and unspoken rivalry before renewing stronger than ever.

Shot in Paris without a script and shaped through improvisation, the film explores male repression and the inheritance of intergenerational trauma passed down from father to son, asking whether such cycles can ever be broken.STARRING:
