About

03 — The company

ouidembois is a production company based between Berlin and California. We develop original IP and produce it as features, short films and microdramas.

Our stories follow people moving through worlds that weren’t built for them, and they look for the truth in diasporic lives wherever those lives play out. We bring diverse perspectives to diverse audiences, and we make things differently.

Our short film Ringatory is an official selection at two festivals in 2026. It is nominated for Best Score and the Horizon Award at the International Sound & Film Music Festival, and for Best Original Score and in the New Filmmakers Shorts Competition at the Verona International Short Film Festival. Sanguine and Not Now are in development, and Sanguine is a quarter-finalist in the 2026 Shore Scripts Feature Contest.
