A duo since day one, Kalman and Horn began making films together in 2003, when they were still in college. Dedicated to working with celluloid, together they have forged a singular, vibes-forward aesthetic—a fusion of pastiche and sincerity that is both playful and sharp, silly and analytical, maximalist and joyously, inventively lo-fi. So armed, they have taken cinematic trips to the 1890s and the 1990s alike, period film territory braved by few shoestring-budget practitioners.
