“I long for stories about the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible as Charles Eisenstein likes to say. I’m looking at my fellow storytellers to inspire us with stories set in a world where we solve some of our problems and not create new ones but I rarely see those. I call these Protopian stories because they are neither Utopian nor dystopian just Protopian.”

— Ari Kuschnir

We specialize in the production of cinematic documentary and narrative films and series. We’re nimble, adaptable, and believe deeply in the projects we undertake.

we believe…

Disconnection is the greatest threat to our humanity and to our planet.

Connection is therefore our greatest responsibility and delight to inspire.

Stories are a path to connection because humans understand the world based on the stories we’re told, and those we tell ourselves.

And cinema done right has a magical ability to connect us so that no matter what, who, when, or how far away, the story inspires the kind of emotional connection that you feel for what’s right in front of you.

So at redfitz, we are devoted to telling human stories for a better world.

Collectively these types of stories can create the new mythology humanity and the planet so desperately need. We might call new mythology “protopian” in that it will inspire and teach us how to truly connect with and love each other and the planet.
