If it could speak, imagine what a virus would tell us.

Nick Meynen from the European Environmental Bureau - EEB just released ‘Turning Point’, an E-book in which he shares his vision of a post-pandemic future. In order to promote his clever writings, we decided to write a poem about it, and turn it into a small short film!

2 minutes of immersive Pandemic Poetry right here!

Meet our neighbors! ✊

Maakfabriek is a Belgian creative lab and community of extracting precious resources from urban waste and giving products a second life.

While shooting this movie, they inspired us to make our own bureaus. Old wooden planks that used to be a terras are now supporting the computer this post is being written on!

Get to know our neighbors, get inspired and join us on our path towards a circular economy, baby!

Together with Blikfabriek and the European Environmental Bureau - EEB

Join us on Earth Day (22/04)! When our short documentary will be released in English with subtitling in 11 different languages, thanks to Nick Meynen and the European Environmental Bureau - EEB.

Premiering next week!

Dear reader,

A lot has happened in 2019. The world has shifted into a new gear. We don't want to lag behind. That's why we've started Mercator.

Mercator is a sustainable film production company from Antwerp, Belgium.

As filmmakers, we wondered: why do so many efforts to save our planet remain unseen? And how can we help?

We believe that there is a way of reconnecting opinions and actions. Through effective, inspiring and truthful communication. That’s why we want to establish strong connections between people, brands and initiatives through cinematic content about sustainability. Produced in a sustainable fashion, of course.

We are aware of the challenges ahead. We know that we will have to redirect our compass many times in order to fully understand where this road will take us. But that won't stop us from trying.

Will you join our journey?

Yours sincerely,
Mercator
