What is ‘matrescence’? Just like how ‘adolescence’ defines the transition from childhood into adulthood, ‘matrescence’ is the physical, emotional, hormonal, and social transition into becoming a mother. Yet 67% of mothers have never even heard the term.
The transition into motherhood remains one of the least studied, and least understood experiences in human development.

An important film that resonates with so many women globally, we feel incredibly lucky to have helped bring it into the world. The documentary follows Claire Tonti Claire Tonti as she investigates why the psychological rupture she experienced after having her children, was never named, never explained, and never prepared for.

We recently had the privilege of working with SALT - Sport And Life Training to tell the story of John, who tragically lost his son, and a football club grieving the loss of one of their mates.

Through unimaginable heartbreak, SALT was there to provide support, connection and hope when it was needed most.

We’re incredibly grateful to John and everyone involved for trusting us with such a personal story. Proud to have helped bring this beautiful film to life for a truly meaningful cause.

What started with a trampoline from Facebook Marketplace turned into Colliderscope – an experimental exploration of movement, fashion and portraiture.

Built alongside an incredibly talented team of creatives, this project was all about capturing energy, expression and those unexpected moments that happen in motion.

Proud to finally share the first glimpse of it, with more stills and motion pieces coming soon. A huge thank you to all involved!
