Mission

 
 

Multimedia Narratives

We are an entertainment company which creates narratives that span across the mediums of film-making, music, and short form digital content, reflecting the social issues of our times. We strive to create entertaining stories which raise audience consciousness of the world and their place in it. In an age where many of the narratives we've lived by have failed us as a species, we seek to grow as a company by discovering and shaping the new narratives that will lead us to be a vital part of a more sustainable planet.

 
 
 

In Hell With Ivo

IN POST-PRODUCTION
 

In hell with Ivo

 

From Bulgaria, a place so conservative virtually no one is openly gay, emerges flamboyant performance artist and musician - Ivo Dimchev. While he gains success all around Europe, Ivo feels compelled to remain in his home country where he is most judged. Despite being HIV positive, he offers to perform in people’s homes when Covid hits and does so over 400 times, risking his life, like a sacrificial lamb to an audience that consumes him. Rejected by his family, Ivo invites us into his life and displays the worst of himself with no shame – embracing his narcissism, sex addiction and confrontational nature. After going to hundreds of different homes looking for belonging, he finally goes back to his childhood home where all his trauma began.

Touched with Fire

 

Touched With Fire debuted in 2015 to critical acclaim. Based on personal experiences with bipolar, the film was found to deeply resonate with those in the mental health field across the world, and to date has received 11 awards from various mental health organizations for its truthful and compelling look at the various aspects of the disease. The unexpected partnership between the film and the mental health world made clear to us that narratives, when handled well, can and often do have lasting societal impact. We decided that this would be our guidepost for future projects, so we launched LunaClipse Media.

Faith, Love and Whiskey

 

Faith Love and Whiskey is Kristina's directorial debut shot in her homeland of Bulgaria on super 16mm. It won Grand Jury Prize at the Dallas Film Festival, Kodak Best Cinematography Award at Slamdance and was nominated for Best Debut Feature by the Bulgarian Film Academy.  The name of the movie comes from the fact that Whiskey has replaced Hope in post-communist Bulgaria. Kristina first thought of the theme after reading an article in The Economist, which placed Bulgaria last place in the world in regards to happiness.
