About Us

N. Petrovsky has been self producing and four-walling underground films for 22 years. My award-winning work has been praised by Gus Van Sant, James Benning and film scholar Ray Carney. I tell stories of love lost and the inherent fallibility of verbal human communication. My work’s distinctive and cozy visual style is greatly influenced by the amazing work of socially conscious filmmakers such as Straub-Huillet, Chantal Akerman, Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Yasujiro Ozu.

    No psychology (of the kind which discovers only what it can explain). * When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best — that is inspiration.
