What We're Watching - Lulu Wang's "The Farewell"

In April of 2016, Lulu Wang appeared on an episode of “This American Life” and told an incredible true story that occurred two years previously.

Building Our Brand Voice

What We're Watching - Gaspar Noé’s "Climax"

Climax (distributed by A24) is a psychological horror film directed, written and co-edited by Gaspar Noé and co-produced between France and Belgium (although make no mistake, this film insists on being utterly French).

The Origin Story

StoneStreet Cinema was conceived on a night of writer’s block and one too many gin & tonics, not the most uncommon cause of conception.
