Toby & Kevin co-direct films since childhood. All Gereration Y, the brothers believe in the transformative power of movies to foster social change. Sparked by a student film on India’s water crisis, the Munich- and Cape Town-based directors founded FilmCrew, an indie production house with a heart for sustainable filmmaking. After a documentary on street children in DR Congo titled “Where the Street Ends“, Toby and Kevin released their multi-award-winning feature film debut “Robin – Watch for Wishes“ which was soon picked up by Electric Entertainment. “Robin”, a bucket-list-movie about an ill child exploring South Africa, wasn’t just a movie – it was a movement as the social campaign Watch for Wishes raised donations for kids in need. After a historical short film venture “About German Women”, and their stage direction debut with “Hunger and Greed“ on crimes of the garbage industry the brothers co-created the Netflix documentary “Biking Borders”, that has financed the construction of seven schools in remote regions in Africa and South America. Toby and Kevin got to visit Turkana for the first time in 2017 and have since then travelled back and forth as they had been working on NAWI as their second feature.
