YOU&I

01ABOUT

Two abstract silhouettes in amber light.

You&I is an independent filmmaking studio based in London. Our work moves between documentary, art and commissioned film.

We look beyond the subject itself to the people, relationships and ideas that give it meaning.

Through curiosity, close observation and collaboration, we discover and shape cinematic narratives that connect the intimate with the universal.

02/ HAMSAFAR

FELLOW TRAVELLERS.
FILM

A feature documentary exploring one’s relationship with ancient objects, told through an Iranian family in exile and the collection they have built.

How objects carry memory, bridge time and connect us to the places we have left behind.
