 COMPANION                                                           tailor-made DVD bonus materials

Culture Wrap’s production house offers studios and filmmakers to develop and produce unique cultural DVD-bonus materials for them, to accompany their feature film or documentary whose story is set in a certain culture or involves cross-cultural elements.

It’s a way for studio’s to utilize the reach they have with their movies to connect the world and to help improve cross-cultural understanding. Cinema with a cause, so to speak.
 

 One Step Back, Two Steps Forward                                         a documentary series

A documentary-series of stories of immigrants, who decided to go to another country to provide a better life for their families.

As they grew accustomed to a new country and made a life for themselves, they decided to return to help the village or communities they left behind.

Although mostly it is assumed that immigrants have moved forward by immigrating, most of the times, it is a major step back. Emotionally, as they are separated from family, friends and familiar surroundings, they find themselves struggling to get a foothold on new ground.

Economically,their life may only improve as fast as they are able to learn the language and customs of their new land and if... they find a job.
