Just wrapped up our latest short film! Mixed in Dolby Atmos, every sound comes to life creating an immersive experience that really makes you feel part of the film. Neither Hunger Nor Thirst will be hitting the festival circuits this year! Big shout out to one of my old friends Michael Das for allowing us to collaborate with you on this project. Already looking forward to the next project.
