In·sel [ɪnzl] – German word for Island

With our films we want to inspire and encourage people to think differently. To immerse the viewer into the worlds and lives of others. To touch the heart, and shift perspectives in order to foster a greater change. We tell personal, character driven stories which explore social and political issues across a larger scope and challenge the status quo.
