Salufilms is driven by innovative storytelling. We see a space in the industry for critical, exploratory work that can live with and beyond the cinema space. We aim to both celebrate and challenge the grammar of film, prioritising poetic exploration and innovation.

We also work to commission with brands and organisations keen to collaborate on original videos and films.

Film production is in partnership with House of Thought and friends.

→ ‘As a director and artist, my interest lies in bringing to light stories of cultures, social realities and concepts often missing from official history books and records. As a progressive creative, I steep myself in the scholarship and history of filmmaking, with great respect for its many epochs and theories, which provides me with a solid foundation to question what film can be today and tomorrow as we find ways to exist and thrive across physical and digital realities. With years of experience creating narrative in the form of fiction and poetry, I am now applying this distinctive storytelling to developing a full-length narrative feature.’
