Doing our part,
one film at a time.
At Apollo Studios,
We are passionate about real stories, particularly the ones that don’t have a voice.
We look where nobody else is looking, we listen when nobody else is listening.
We strive to give the chance to speak to those who have been silenced.
In Development
Stranded
After over a decade of dedicating our work to documentaries at Apollo Studios, we have decided it is time for us to make the jump to narrative work.
Wrote, produced by us, and currently in production, “Stranded” is the story of an astronaut working in Earth’s orbit which is left in space as a nuclear disaster breaks out and devastates the planet. How can she come home, when there might not be a home to come back to?

The Darkest Morning
Our next documentary, currently in development, will visit one of America’s most painful mornings. For better, or worse, 9/11 changed the world forever.
Setting aside the political, conspiratorial, and the overwhelming toll of innocent lives, This film will examine the experiences of individuals who survived 9/11. We will conduct interviews with those who were considered the "lucky" ones. Our interviewees share a common experience: they attribute their survival to a series of fortuitous events that prevented them from being at the World Trade Center on that day. These events, which could be described as sheer luck or divine intervention, saved their lives.

Moon Landing
What if the conspiracy theories are true, and mankind's furthest step into the unknown was all part of a hoax? and what if the astronauts didn't know it?
In the midst of the Cold War, America worries that the Soviet Union is ahead in the space race. To keep the spirit alive, NASA announces a live broadcast of the astronaut's first steps on the moon. Finally, Apollo 11 is ready to launch, fueled by the dreams and aspirations of the free world, but what if they knew the mission would never succeed?
