HUMAN FIRST, HUMAN LAST.
Is the end of times near for the magazine industry?
Of course not.
Magazines will never die!
In the age of fake news and AI, the value of magazines has never been clearer:
A treasure trove of knowledge and inspiration, centered around carefully curated, human-created articles.
Human first, human last!
This film, which tells the story of the past 25 years in the magazine sector, was created on behalf of the Magazine Media Association (MMA) to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the #Mercurs (the "Oscars of magazines").

ABIERTO - SIN CORTAR LAS ALITAS
Winner of the 48h contest by Otoxo Barcelona.
A film by Rosie Zopfi and Dries Vanherwegen.
"I don't want to cut their wings, I want them to fly."
Sometimes, documentary filmmaking catches you completely off guard.
Abierto, sin cortar las alitas, was one of those unexpected surprises. We set out to tell the story of an athlete in just 2 minutes, but one choice led to another, and before we knew it, we were capturing a heartfelt phone call with his mother.
We made the bold decision to abandon the interview and instead focus on the call. Suddenly, Gustavo’s mother became the central figure, transforming our story from one about sports into a poignant narrative about a mother’s love—a love that sometimes means letting go.
It’s amazing how a 2-minute short film can delve into profound themes like freedom, expectations, and love.
THE CREATIVE HANDSHAKE - THE RUGGEDS

THE CREATIVE HANDSHAKE - LUCA CARLI
The project is a collection of stories of different creative entrepreneurs. The goal is to connect creative makers and give them a bigger stage. In the interviews the director enters into a personal conversation about family and what it means to work as a creative. The portraits will all fit into the same poetic atmosphere, but will also depict the main character as a creator. Thanks to Cultuur Eindhoven , Voordekunst Crowdfunding and NEXT Talent program we can develop these series.

THE CREATIVE HANDSHAKE - SUPER SHORT
The premiere episode of Creative Handshake's international series spotlights the talented Alejandra Picart, a masterful artist renowned for her captivating tile paintings crafted using the ancient dry rope technique. Despite operating with just a quarter of our usual crew, this portrait demonstrates how a personal and intimate story can unfold within a concise 1.5-minute timeframe, with only a three-person crew.
