From ordinary things nobody noticed.

How we hallucinate

  1. 01

    Listen

    You tell us something ordinary. We listen like it's a confession.

  2. 02

    Catch

    We look for the one detail in the scene that's delirious.

  3. 03

    Shoot

    One light, a still frame, and a hero who never expected to be one.

  4. 04

    Let it rave

    You get work that stops the scroll, and stays after.

From the first message to the last frame: one team that gets your brand before it films it.

The Hathayan character

Satirical
We laugh at serious things, and take trivial ones completely seriously.
Sad
Every ordinary scene hides a small sadness, waiting to be noticed.
Absurd
Logic is optional. The unexpected scene is the rule.
Honest
Our strangeness is not a mask. It is another way of telling the truth.
