As it sometimes happens in this vast Universe, a remarkable coincidence brought together a multitude of talented cinematographers, musicians, and film editors in the making of a documentary about South Georgia. We also incorporated AI to recreate historical footage from the early 20th century, capturing the spirit of the first Antarctic explorers. Just mentioning the names of the musicians involved should be enough to spark your curiosity and make you click on the links to the film. The brilliant guitarist Estas Tonne—a longtime friend and kindred spirit—contributed his unmistakable sound. The extraordinary composer Maria Vrubel, with whom we are now collaborating on our fifth project, once again infused the film with her unique musical vision. And Maxim Vidishev, with his mesmerizing throat singing and the ethereal tones of his jaw harp, added a depth of sound that defies description. AWARDS:

Shot on a smartphone during fleeting moments between international flights, Golden Wings: Fifty Year Flight Path began as a humble student project and has since evolved into a soaring exploration of legacy, resilience, and the human spirit. At its heart is Robyn Stewart, whose fifty-year career as a flight attendant is one chapter in her family’s extraordinary aviation story—spanning nearly nine decades of service with American Airlines. From the glamorous yet grueling stewardess college of the late 1960s, where flight attendants were measured for girdles and weighed to meet strict requirements, to the harrowing skies of 9/11, Robyn’s journey mirrors the evolution of an industry—and a society. Beneath the polished uniforms and practiced smiles lies a raw, deeply human story of courage: her father’s pioneering work on the Boeing 747, her own battles with addiction, and the quiet strength passed down through generations. This documentary is more than a career retrospective—it’s a fight to preserve history, to honor legacies that might otherwise fade into silence. What began as a nine-minute student tribute has blossomed into an award-winning testament to love and perseverance. In its final moments, Golden Wings transcends its origins, becoming an emotional love letter to family and a reminder that the stories we preserve are the ones that truly endure. AWARDS:

I first met fire-eater Insectavora when she performed at the Coney Island Circus Sideshow, and wondered what made her tick? They say that you can't judge a book by it's cover, and this turned out to be so true with Insectavora. I found her to be a very nice young woman, and very much into her artform. The footage was shot in 2005, but something came up and we never finished her story. At the tail-end of 2018 I decided to take the footage I had and complete the film. Strangely enough after many years, Insectavora has returned to the Coney Island Circus Sideshow as a cast member for the 2019 season. AWARDS:
