Five award-winning filmmakers who bring big vision and low overhead to an industry sorely in need of both. As commercial content spreads its wings beyond arbitrary running times, we offer the rhythm and life of story. Our way is not just a matter of economics, but an awakening to a new paradigm of branded cinema.

Throughout human history, people have had giddy dreams and fantastic notions about what the future would bring. Today the future has become more of a threat than a promise—a knot of intractable problems looming menacingly on the horizon. With a powerful sense of poetry, Utopia in Four Movements uses the collective experience of cinema to explore the battered state of the utopian impulse at the dawn of the twenty-first century.
From the establishment of a man-made language designed to end war and cultural conflict and the undying optimism of an American exile in Cuba, to the current economic boom in China and the desire to give the remains in mass graves a dignified burial, Green and Cerf sift through the history of the utopian impulse with audiences and search for insights about the way to build a vision of the future based on humankind’s noblest impulses (from Ann Arbor Film Festival)
So gather all your friends in Michigan and enjoy an evening at the theater!
