PRESENTATION
NOSTRO's hu/b was gestated and embryonated during the covid-19 pandemic and the biggest crisis in the audiovisual sector since the resumption of Brazilian cinema in 1992. This nucleus emerges with the idea of creating a creative hub of Rio de Janeiro's cinema talents and creating an opportunity to unite concept and narrative with brands interested in content and storytelling. The hub emerges with the concept of being a digital coworking of collaborators gathered to create with brands engaged with stories of impact and that generate social reflection, the basic principle of the projects and the production company's mentality.
