Team Members

First things first, we proudly wear the badge of “cinephile” and we are Mediterranean! We are also dedicated filmmakers. For over a decade, we have served as directors and producers in films, commercials and documentary projects. Our films have been screened in more than 20 countries, winning prestigious awards internationally.

In the past, we have advised short film festivals and worked on independent international productions and community film initiatives. Our collaborations include Leytonstone Loves Film, where we organised two screenings, and Shorts on Tap, where we curated short films for the Silk Road Films event. We also hosted screenings at Good Shepherds Studio in Leytonstone. Check for more: https://lunaroomfilm.com/film-festivals
