The company

Record the crossing that happened, including the hour it did not.

Studio work

Record the crossing that happened, including the hour it did not.

The office is a desk on Strada Mihail Kogălniceanu, a short walk from the landing. The people who call are the landing, the potters, and families who want the hour someone waited.

We do not stage a crossing. If the wind stops the boat, we stay with the people who stayed. The other bank is in the frame only when the boat actually goes.
