Lost With You

On a Los Angeles hiking trail, two strangers fall into step together and begin what seems like an easy, flirtatious walk. As the miles unfold, so do the things that divide them - politics, identity, family, faith, and the private stories that shaped the people they have become. What begins as banter turns into something sharper, riskier, and unexpectedly intimate.
Set against the city’s open air and golden terrain, Lost With You is a romantic drama about connection in an age of fracture. It asks whether two people can truly hear one another across deep differences, and whether empathy can become its own form of love.

We Are Still The Same

In 1973, after Pinochet's coup, Chile was one of the most dangerous places in the world. Only embassies were safe. Based on a true story, when a Brazilian on the run from the Chilean army takes refuge in the Argentine embassy, he will try to survive while his father tries to save him. Gabriel could be just another young son of a very wealthy shoe manufacturing and export family, born and raised in southern Brazil, who would eventually take over the family business. But no. Gabriel decided in the mid-70s that he would fight for the truth and the freedom he believed in. Freedom didn't fit a place of intolerance. Gabriel was a victim of the 1973 coup d'état in Chile and ended up in the Argentine Embassy in Chile, along with hundreds of others. There, life unfolded in the primitive way that only captivity can. Fernando, Gabriel's father and a visionary in his field, disagrees. But he respects his son's point of view enough to travel to Chile during the dark days of the Pinochet government to try to rescue him. A movie about the need for tolerance, about the fight for freedom in every sense, the freedom that makes us feel alive. It's about fighting to survive in the most adverse conditions that human beings can be placed in.

The Conversation

Based on a true story of a meeting on 4 June 1945 between two powerful men with very opposite philosophies and perspectives on the future of their country; the newly appointed political Leader of Yugoslavia, Marshal Tito and the head of the Catholic Church of Croatia, Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac. Both controversial figures. It is a dangerous time as the Partisans had won the war against the Nazis and taken over the country, with the Red Army of the Soviet Union close at hand to ensure dominance and influence over Eastern Europe.
The basis of the film and words spoken come from an unearthed alleged transcript of the meeting which lasted just one and a half hours.
The meeting is like a game of chess, one man trying to outmaneuver and outsmart the other. The ultimate outcome between the two will not only shape the history of both men and their country, but also the shape of the world to come which to this day remain relevant.
