Bio

Moo and Lou

We were friends in high school, and both went on to film school, where soon enough, we dropped out and started making videos out of a bedroom. Our work has centered around real human stories and we’ve been fortunate enough to see some amazing places and meet some amazing people along the way.

The fastest way to kill something special is to compare it to something else – we try and find the real human moment in every project and it’s served us pretty well so far.
