By way of Chicago & Fayetteville (AR), we’re a boutique Ozark production company telling small, empathetic stories. We've screened across the States (at Academy Qualifying festivals like Seattle International & deadCenter and Geena Davis' Bentonville Film Festival). Tone? Think Jonathan Demme & Kore-eda sitting on a porch, chatting, watching a Rohmer movie together, or at least that's what we were thinking about when the few of us established in late 2019.
"...[CHRONICLE OF A SUMMER DAY is an] incredibly good documentary... The film is described as 'loosely documenting John Caleb Pendleton's 2021 Juneteenth floral installation.' But it feels like it's more than just about arranging flowers. It's about a community of artists coming together creating a bouquet of remembrance and celebration by using poetry, photography, music, and film in an elaborate, colorful, and effective montage of empowerment."

"In its delicately nuanced storytelling, sublime performances and keen understanding of human nature, this 19-minute marvel affirms that its writer/director Emma Thatcher is a force to be reckoned with. Like [Lynn] Shelton's best work, 'Fletcher' will inspire audiences to look deeply within themselves while re-examining their own approach to relationships and intimacy."
