CASSIE // in the wake of giants // pilot lab // oct nov dec 2025
“What I see is that people don’t want to just sit back and watch anymore. They don’t want to feel powerless. They want to help, to learn, to grow. That’s where this film comes in. At a time when eco-anxiety is everywhere, I want this to be a story of hope. A story that shows connection with the ocean, with communities, and with each other can lead to real change.”
TONNY // ROOTS & REVELATION // pilot lab // oct nov dec 2025
“My name is Tonny Ndare, a filmmaker based in Nairobi, Kenya. I grew up in Kibera, one of Africa’s largest informal settlements, a place often defined by struggle and poverty in the media. But for me, Kibera is home, a place full of rhythm, colour, and spirit.”
Dana // passages // pilot lab // oct nov dec 2025
“My story has come so far thanks to the guidance, advice, and confidence-boosting energy that Sal brings to every session. She’s the perfect person to lead a lab like this, supportive, insightful, and deeply committed to everyone’s growth.”
lisa // in the wake of giants // pilot lab // oct nov dec 2025
“I grew up in Canada far from the ocean, and for most of my life, swimming with whales felt completely inaccessible - it wasn’t even a thought that crossed my mind. And yet I found myself in the water with one of the largest animals on the planet, and it moved something in me. ThaT distance, emotional, geographical, and cultural, gives me a unique perspective.”
