A New York Trilogy
In post-production: Stream
At seventeen, DK is a seasoned pickpocket with no plan to work or study. Just before Christmas, he steals a bag from a stranger on a ferry. Unlocking the victim’s phone reveals Olivia, a young, privileged socialite whose curated online life immediately fascinates him. Meanwhile, DK’s father, a former tugboat captain, goes missing. The eviction notice on their apartment door gives DK only a few days to come up with the rent money. DK quickly finds himself oscillating between two equally seductive forms of escape: extorting money from Olivia or trading his fractured reality for Olivia’s curated online world.

Released: According To Her
Veronica’s virtuoso fingers dance across piano keys, but her symphony of ambition strikes jarring notes against the demands of motherhood and domestic life. A young migrant adrift in a sea of privileged French expatriates, she navigates New York’s glittering upper echelons while fighting not to lose herself in their seductive yet treacherous world. As her music, heart, and maternal instincts collide in discordant harmony, Veronica must compose a new arrangement of her life—or risk a devastating finale.
and soon on 
In the glittering world of Manhattan’s elite, Veronica—a Belarusian piano prodigy—has made the ultimate sacrifice. Trading Carnegie Hall for lullabies, she’s chosen motherhood over music, pouring her passion into raising her son while her husband, Paul, climbs the ladder of Wall Street.
What begins as a love story soon reveals its jagged edges. Paul’s initial support crumbles under the weight of societal expectations, leaving Veronica increasingly isolated in their rarefied social circle, where achievement is currency and maternal devotion is viewed as a trophy wife surrender.
Into this fragile ecosystem storms Adele—Paul’s French cousin, a high-powered executive who keeps her own child safely tucked away at boarding school. With every champagne toast and cutting remark, Adele undermines Veronica’s choices, planting seeds of doubt in an already vulnerable marriage.
Trapped in the suffocating bubble of the French expatriate society, Veronica’s world shrinks. Her halting English is a wall between her and potential allies, while her days revolve exclusively around her son—a joy that increasingly doubles as her prison.
The delicate balance shatters with the arrival of Amanda, a celebrated French pianist whose fingers command standing ovations across Europe. As Amanda’s New York tour brings her into their orbit, her undeniable chemistry with Paul ignites a dangerous passion. Each note she plays reminds Veronica of the life she abandoned and threatens to steal the one she chose instead.
