So who the hell are we?

We don’t really like talking about ourselves. We’re not very interesting. Probably the most noteworthy thing about us is that we work hard and live together. People are shocked. “So are you… you know, going out?” No. We share every aspect of our lives except our bodily fluids. (Secretly we do drawings of what we imagine one another’s genitalia might look like)

We love big genuine ideas. We love communications that move us. They are rare but when they happen they are wonderful.

We put our heart into what we do.

We love the truth.

We love things done differently.

We’ve written and directed some short films that were shown at the Cannes Film Festival, Rushes Soho Shorts Festival in London, and Sony Expose in Sydney.

Toby plays F grade squash for 8 years and has been a graffiti artist for 17 years. To his disappointment he hasn’t improved in either.

Selena collects sneakers and art.

We’re not overly proud of our work. Looking back at what we’ve produced is like looking at a catalogue of errors and missed opportunities. In an industry that’s so willing to pat itself on the back you have to look at things from a critical perspective. So if we look a little displeased it’s not because we’re assholes, it’s because we’re thinking of how we can improve our work or imagining what one another’s genitalia look like.
