Our Story
Since their high school days, Giuseppe and Sashi harboured a shared dream of crafting films together. From 2007 to 2010, they collaborated on numerous projects during their high school years. Their passion led them to the Cannes Film Festival in 2013, where Giuseppe's short film “The Patriot” was a part of the Short Film Corner program. Subsequently, in 2014, Giuseppe embarked on a journey to study law, driven by a desire to delve into the intricate aspects of filmmaking. Meanwhile, Sashi ventured into the heart of the film industry, working on colossal productions like The Favourite, Fantastic Beasts, Jason Bourne, Everest and Star Wars as an Assistant Director in London.
As Sashi honed his skills in the dynamic realm of film finance Giuseppe completed law school, and was admitted to practice law in 2017, after that he sought mentorship to deepen his knowledge of entertainment law. Simultaneously, Sashi gained invaluable experience in a film finance company, broadening his understanding of the field.
In 2015 Sashi opened Six Missing Chairs in the UK, and embarked on a creative journey that resulted in the production of over 8 award=winning short films. Among these projects was a collaboration with Academy Award winner Olivia Colman, elevating their portfolio and garnering critical acclaim.
In 2019, after a fateful conversation at “Dartmouth Arms” an English Pub in London, Giuseppe and Sashi recognised the value of joining forces, sharing a mutual interest in the bureaucratic intricacies of filmmaking. Over the next four years, their individual journeys flourished. Sashi worked as an Executive Producer on the feature film "Best Sellers" alongside acclaimed actors Michael Caine and Aubrey Plaza. Meanwhile, Giuseppe worked as an Executive Producer on "Pixinguinha, An Affectionate Man," featuring the renowned Brazilian Actor Seu Jorge, and on AACTA-nominated feature film "Godless: The Eastfield Exorcism."
In 2023, they took the monumental step of inaugurating their Australian entity, marking a new chapter in their collaborative endeavours.
Together, Giuseppe and Sashi are dedicated to producing films that resonate deeply and stand the test of time.
