Creating intriguing stories and visually stimulating projects is important, and something we take pride in. Yet our truest mission at 8Lens is to invoke something that resides in us all. It’s the moment our hearts feel heavy, when we have butterflies in our stomachs. It’s when our eyes water without us knowing why. The mind can’t compute it but we can feel it in our bones. Something is happening, a slight tingle of your senses, an ineffable feeling we didn’t know we had but the work of art expresses for us. We will never know when it happens, but you know when it does.

That is the moment of real connection, when we catch lightning in a bottle. The moment we feel human. We share in our universal human experiences and connect with one another. Filmmaking is a unique medium because it crosses boundaries of nations, cultures and languages, and that’s why we love it and devote our time and effort to making this kind of art. We believe in the power of film, because it’s how our 8Lens family connected and why we want to connect with you.
