- Carlos "Cres" Santiago is not a stereotypical rapper. After quitting his job as a sales representative to pursue his dream, Cres moves from Alicante, Spain, to New York, where he meets Alex F. Ghassan - a talented director, who had been working with many artists but tragically passed away in 2016. We follow Cres' collaborations with well-known rappers in New York in the early 2010's - we dive into the process of how music videos have been created with some of the most legendary artists. More than that, we get to understand the creative processes that usually stay behind the scenes. The film shows the human side of hip-hop and the philosophy of the creative process. The documentary film includes footage shot within the last 15 years across two continents, and among others, features Arkano (Guinness World Record Holder), R de Rumba (Violadores del Verso), Nach (rapper and poet) and Crystal Caines (producer, rapper). Most of the footage of Cres in the film was filmed in the year 2017 when Vita Pictura's production team visited Alicante and its vicinity in Spain. Therefore, in some way, this film is a time capsule of the music atmosphere and trends in Spain and the US during the 2010s. In 2017, Cres felt that music is a reflection of freedom, which he exercised by having his unique two-language style of rapping on the topics he felt were important to him. Therefore, in some way, this is more than a documentary, this is a time capsule of that time period. Not only do we understand Cres' ideas, but we also interview other musicians from Spain and the US who collaborated with him previously. The time capsule that this film is, shows us the state in which music was in before everything changed.

- This documentary reveals how the feature film "Firebird" was born and filmed. We meet the lead actors, Tom Prior and Oleg Zagorodnii, get to know their personal stories, and learn how the production process affected them. We also meet the real-life inspiration for this true story, Russian actor Sergey Fetisov, and follow the challenging production process in Estonia, Russia, and Malta. The director Peeter Rebane and lead actors share their stories with us, offering a sneak peek into the world of this unique and truly exciting film production that took seven years to accomplish. Part of the challenge of a film like Firebird was creating an authentic backdrop to the love triangle drama. "These details make the world," said Rebane. "If you don't pay attention to the details, then nothing works." There were providential events, such as the ex-air force commander who appeared during a shoot in Eastern Estonia. "All of a sudden, this man appeared on set, who had seen we were making a film," said Rebane. "He came with a collection of photos from when he was in service. We compared them to the set we had built, and we were able to match everything up perfectly." There were also difficulties involving the MIG23 - the fighter plane that Roman flies in the film. "We tried to get hold of a MIG23 from Finland but quickly found out that you need an agreement from both Ministers of Foreign Affairs for the transportation of military equipment - so that didn't happen," said Rebane. Fortunately, they were able to source a MIG21 from the Estonian Air Museum. This led to the production making the national news, with reports of a Soviet fighter plane being moved across the countryside. Estonia has modernized a great deal since the Soviet occupation, making it tricky to find the right locations. However, in the east of the country, Rozenbrika and Rebane could locate untouched, abandoned mining villages, along with Soviet-era buildings for the non-military scenes. Throughout the shoot, Rebane had one motto, 'Never compromise'. If it weren't historically accurate, then he wouldn't shoot it. That included the right costumes, haircuts, and even body language. "If we couldn't replicate it, we never shot it," said Rebane.
