Illuminating stories through film, animation and light

We are storytellers inspired by the human experience, enchantment and the unexplored. Drawing on over three decades of creative practice, we craft experiences where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary - moments of wonder imbued with light, emotion, and imagination.

"We're drawn to stories: enchanted worlds and fantastical imaginings, forgotten histories and overlooked voices. And to the pure magic of what happens when light, motion, and emotion carry people somewhere extraordinary."

Together, Cristina and Susanna bring three decades of combined expertise across film, animation, immersive design and interactive technology. Their work sits at the intersection of art, motion and discovery - drawing on archives, history and fantastical imagination to surface stories that are forgotten, overlooked, or simply waiting to be told. Driven by curiosity and a love of experimentation, they transform these stories into experiences where light, technology and emotion conspire to create pure wonder. Bright Side Studios was founded on one belief: that the best experiences don't just move people - they mark them. Something visceral and illusory that burns quietly into memory long after the lights go down.
