The term MONO NO AWARE is a Japanese phrase that means "a connection to the ephemeral".....

We strive to provide the tools and skills to make traditional filmmaking affordable and approachable in the hands of makers; to teach filmmaking at its core, from hand processing film to shooting techniques, from camera-less filmmaking to digital post-production and distribution.
