THORNBYRD | EQUILIBRI
WITHOUT TRUTH THERE IS NO CONNECTION
Between us, we hold a simple belief: creation is how we find each other, we're carried through stories that hold our contradictions, our humour, our pain, and thus our beauty; it is within that space true connection takes shape. Because without the imperfections, there's no truth. And without truth, there's no connection.
Our Story
Connected by the wisdom of our representatives at the Bohemia group. We...as all busy creatives do in the current day... played email tag for several weeks. Sure, we're always thrilled to meet another creator but we could never manage to align. Eventually one fateful evening we fell onto a zoom and several hours later decided that we were metaphorically and filmatically in love.
The rest is set to be cinematic history.
