Inspired by the Chinese internet slang 摸鱼 (mōyú) or “touching fish,” this documentary project delves into the dynamics of work and leisure within Chinese society. MoYu symbolizes a rejection of rat racing, a compromise under societal pressure, an aspiration for freedom, or simply laziness. Focusing on the delicate balance between individuals and their work, the documentary sheds light on the complexities of the Chinese work culture. Blending storytelling with striking visuals, from scenes in The Sims 4 and authentic CCTV footage to everyday moments in modern China — Touching Fish offers a compelling lens on the complexities of Chinese work culture. As it navigates themes of labor, fulfillment, and resistance, the film invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with work and time. Touching Fish is not just a portrait of a social phenomenon — it's a conversation starter about what it means to live meaningfully in an age of burnout and overwork.

Bouncing, swaying, and towering above street corners and car dealerships, the wacky, waving, inflatable figures have become global icons of attention. They've danced their way into films, cartoons, music videos, and commercials-instantly recognizable, yet mysteriously nameless to most. The Tall Boy is a riveting 20-minute investigative documentary that pulls back the nylon curtain on the unlikely invention that captured the world's gaze-and the forgotten genius behind it. Through rare footage, interviews, and deep archival dives, we uncover how one man's visionary design was swept up by commercial interests, leaving him erased from the narrative. This is not just the story of a quirky invention. It's a cautionary tale of creativity, capitalism, and greed.

“We are so proud and excited that BBC Storyworks produced a short film for us as a part of their series on businesses doing good. It’s an honour to be included and celebrated in this way.

Perched on the edge of the continental shelf, 300km from the Australian mainland lies Scott Reef. This ancient coral atoll, isolated for millions of years from other reef systems and mainland influences, has developed its own sub populations of unique species. Formed more than 15 million years ago Scott Reef is home to more than 1200 species including endangered seas snakes, green turtles and spectacular corals. Endangered pygmy whales and other rare cetaceans stop at Scott Reef on their annual migrations to feed on the abundant krill. It is one of only a few spots along the west coast of Australia where krill can be found in sufficient quantities to replenish the needs of these large creatures. But Scott Reef is under threat.
This is the remarkable story of the origins of Scottish mountaineering and of Hugh Thomas Munro, the man whose name has become synonymous with Scotland's highest mountains. While modern-day athletes test themselves against these timeless mountain summits, Munro's enduring list of "Mountains Exceeding 3,000 Feet in Height" has evolved into a cultural cornerstone of modern-day Scotland, building a legacy that Munro himself could never have imagined. Scottish mountaineering as we know it originated in the sciences, academia and the arts. But these hill-going pioneers came across a society in the Highland glens that had only just undergone immense upheaval with far-reaching consequences. Their journeys bridged societies, language, class and culture in pursuit of the very summits we still climb to this day.
