We reference.

The Origin
Story.

It started in 2019 with a simple mission: diversify the conversation. As an Australian-born Tongan and Kenyan couple, we felt a distinct voice was missing in mainstream film criticism.

We launched with an interview with Writer/Director Jordan Peele—setting the tone for everything that followed. We don't just review movies; we dissect recurring themes, celebrate director filmographies, and address real-world issues explored through the lens of cinema.
