Through Everything, I'm Still Me

When we step outside and let ourselves slow down, that inner critic begins to fade. Surrounded by trees, birds, and open skies, we remember we’re not separate from the world — we’re part of it. Spending time in nature reconnects us to something bigger. The earth holds us, the wind moves through us, and we begin to feel that deep sense of belonging again. There’s no pressure to be anything other than ourselves, just part of the flow of life. And in that space, we’re reminded how much we need each other. Like nature, we thrive in connection. Every person matters. As the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child” — we’re all part of that village, shaping and supporting the world we live in. Featuring Theunis Cilliers. Filmed in Franschhoek, South Africa. All of our films are made possible through the generous support of our patrons.

We are Justine and Michael. We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth – that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion. In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy.
