Our first film
was a beginning.
Our first documentary grew out of research, field filming and conversations with scholars and practitioners. We learned a great deal, and made a film that explains more than it follows an unfolding story. That depth now has a home as a chapter-based introduction. Sharing it with audiences in Nepal and Singapore showed us the potential for a different film: one that lets people encounter this tradition through the lives of those who carry it.
