In Pursuit of Magic
An expression of the creative call that drives us forward. A call to move, explore and discover. To the strength of the team and co-creation. Finding the answers together, the unknowable void, the self-doubt and the nirvana — a glimpse into a journey of discovery that never ends.
Continuing the studio’s history of self-initiated film projects, at Art&Graft we’ve been working on our most ambitious to date, a film titled ‘In Pursuit of Magic’.
