WE MAKE FILMS

The Nomads was founded in 2021 by Nguyen Hoang Viet — a journalist who wanted to document life through the language of cinema

Each film begins with staying long enough — to earn trust, to listen and observe, and to feel deeply enough to tell the story in the most honest way

While saying goodbye to the people of Lang Nu, there were still the bodies of deceased still unfound beneath the mud.

Ninh Thuan is a drought land with the dry season lasts up to 10 months, this land is said to be the harshest land in Vietnam. “Where is the Shepherd Boy” is the filmmaker’s journey in search of the shepherd boy in order to understand the unprecedented lives of the locals when facing climate change.

In Vietnam, there are still many bears illegally kept in secret cellars to extract bile or body parts. The Four Paw bear rescue organization is working every day to find ways to rescue and bring freedom to these bears. What will they face?

A modest yet heart-warming kind of philanthropy called “Suspended” is getting practiced more in Vietnam, bringing free meals to the poor.

What to say when talking about the void? The void is where everything comes from, but it cannot be seen, cannot be thought of.

The film tells about the connections between the people living in the buffer zone of the national forest and the forest they protect.
