Hosted by two filmmaker siblings, the docuseries explores grief, death, and the wildly different ways people cope across cultures and communities. The series premieres on broadcast and streaming on the app this fall.

Thank you to everyone who came out and connected with the series!

Noses to the grindstone this year for Brave Makers, working on some of our most special projects to date. We’re pretty jazzed to roll out some updates over the coming months, from one of our biggest brand campaign partnerships, to a docuseries we’re producing that will make its streaming and broadcast premiere early next year.

In the meantime, here’s a BTS look on a doc-style commercial we’re producing. It’s been an incredible journey to follow this rare story, taking us all over NY. The true joy of it all is being able to collaborate with our collective of extremely talented crew.
