About
Tea on Mars Films is an Estonian-based production company founded by Lebanese and Brazilian filmmakers, Pedro Hasrouny and Malu Lins, working between Europe, Brasil, and the MENA region. As an emerging production house, it is interested in personal, politically aware cinema that explores experiences of belonging as well as films in which humour emerges as a response to the absurdity of the world.
The founders previously collaborated on projects presented at international festivals and are now developing their first projects under Tea on Mars Films.
