A multinational creative collective formed in 2010, Fidelio focuses on an interdisciplinary approach to filmmaking. With a belief that no idea is too big or too small if told with passion and dedication, Fidelio aims to transcend plot and resonate with an audience on a personal level.
Since its inception, Fidelio has produced one feature and 10 short films that span all genres with all 10 films having played in film festivals around the world and winning various awards including two Student Academy Awards (Oscar), 3 CINE Golden Eagle Awards, a DGA Student Award, two IFP Audience Choice Awards, etc. With several other films in development, Fidelio is excited to continue telling stories that matter well into the future.
