Experiencing Interruptions?

Company

Georgette Castro will steal your heart in “Company”, a touching short film about the unexpected bonds that become our true family.

When Candela, a young Colombian woman feeling isolated in her new life, discovers Larry — a small, quick-witted puppet living in her desk drawer — the two form an unlikely friendship that helps her find courage, joy, and belonging.

As they navigate work, loneliness, and life together, the film reveals that family isn’t always the people we’re born to… it’s the company we keep.

The movie will also amaze audiences with realistic practical effects that have to be seen to be believed-all done without green-screens, CGI or AI.

"Company" is a warm-hearted comedy that will leave you with a smile.
