🎬 ONGOING PROJECT

NATA BANDIT

A mysterious bandit is stealing Portugal's favorite pastry. Every workshop begins with the same simple premise, but every participant creates a completely different film.

Participants work together to develop the action, film the chase, and edit their own one-minute version, discovering how many different stories can emerge from the same creative framework.

Creative. Collaborative. Unforgettable.
