About us
Hello! We are Cristina and Kabelo! We are a writer-director duo and founders of Thunder City Films - a London-based independent production company. Thunder City Films works on a collaborative community model and over the last few years we have built a community of filmmakers that represents what we love and care about both in the world and in cinema.
We have produced several short films that span across genres! Our films include horrors, thrillers, existential dramas, comedies, sci-fis and an upcoming martial arts film. We want our films to feel like us and tell our stories with our community. Our films are exactly that, ours.
Our sets, cast and crew alike, are representative of the films we are making and provide safe spaces for protected identities. We champion creativity and collaboration in spaces that have often been inaccessible. Our crews are always majority people of colour, female, non-binary and fluid gender identities, neurodivergent and queer.
Our works have featured in festivals including Brighton Rocks, Margate, Ramsgate, IMFF, BARCIFF, PrideFilm, Tulsa Underground Film Festival and more. Our experience ranges across film, television, theater, animation, documentary and VR. We have trained as actors, directors and documentarians.
We grew up in love with cinema and feel lucky to be able to contribute to the world that shaped us. We hope that you enjoy our films and that, through them, you see us and the team that made these love letters to the cinema that inspires us.
