Malena Filmus' Picks

A platform like Sooner is very important for independent filmmakers. As a creative it is amazing to have an alternative to mainstream platforms, a place where you can showcase your work and get to discover arthouse and independent films, new series, and documentaries that you couldn't find otherwise. The content is great, edgy and filled with young talent from all around the world. I'm very happy to be a part of it. -Malena Filmus
