In Hawai’i, there is the word na’au. It means to feel first with your gut. It is our place of intuitive knowing. This means work that is profoundly felt, not just seen. Working from this place means making memorable content that sparks an emotional response.
It is about crafting a lush world in seconds. Sculpting light, visuals and sound to evoke authentic stories. Transcendental films inspired by a moment.
