At Malandra we believe that film is the most powerful medium for telling stories and conveying emotion. We strive to create a form of art that entertains and also has the potential to transform lives and foster change. Our mission is to make sure that every project we produce is an aesthetically-driven masterpiece that speaks directly to viewers’ hearts. We want our films and content to take viewers on a journey they won’t soon forget – one rooted in true connection and understanding.
Our company is dedicated to creating content that not only captivates audiences, but also challenges them to think about social issues from new angles. Through our independent features, documentaries, branded content, scripted and unscripted stories, we showcase characters with different faces and evoke empathy in viewers.
We don’t just produce content – we create experiences.
We strive to build worlds that resonate and empower.
We are passionate about telling stories that inspire a better future.
We are dreamers redefining what success means.
Cinema created from empathy.
