GRAFFí FILMS
ALWAYS HUMAN MADE
“Progress demands deviation from the norm.” ― Frank Zappa
There are more avenues than ever to get art out to audiences. And yet, it seems that each change in the industry has made it harder for independent films to get made, and for new talent to break in. As a result, it has been said by “insiders” that lower budget films are no longer getting greenlighted, and independent filmmakers are a dying breed.
We call bullshit.
Indie is not dying. In fact, it’s more vital to our species now than ever before. The human need to tell a story, to create thought-provoking, inventive, and spiritually-gratifying films remains as strong as ever, but there’s no doubt it’s being trampled upon by AI, by special interests with big money making films with the aim to mass indoctrinate, or that are solely focused on the bottom line.
It’s past time for indie filmmakers to adapt or fade away.

Introducing Graffi Films, under the aegis of Graffi Media Inc., a C Corp publishing and production house that offers indie filmmakers, film lovers, and investors more opportunity for success. We don’t think “outside the box,” we are totally out of the inner circle of Hollywood, and plan to stay there. It is the only way for the modern day filmmaker to expand and thrive.
Our goal is to make films that audiences love, but that also make money. To that end, we’ve devised unique, but legal (and proprietary), ways to generate revenue, not only for our financiers, but for ourselves, so that we can continue to do what we were born to do: find a great story and put it on screen for the world to see.
This is our own inner circle. You are welcome to join us in it.
WHO ARE WE?
DIRECTOR, INTERNATIONAL & NATIONAL
A disciple of guerilla filmmaking, bilingual Niko is celebrated for his ingenuity, authenticity, and unfiltered vision. His work encompasses writing, directing, producing, cinematography, and composing. Apart from film, he is also the camera and editor of numerous music videos for various artists. Dubbed "the Frankenstein of indies" by his colleagues, Niko's skilled hand at editing has bolstered many worthy low-budget projects. By scrutinizing all available footage, he ensures every performance is elevated, every scene is enhanced, and most important to his investors, every available production dollar is maximized, a philosophy he brings to his directing as well. He has garnered festival awards for Best Music Score, Best Editing, and Directing.
One of the most talented, hard-working, up-and-coming actors and filmmakers active today, Joshua's philosophy is dedicated to the belief that if an opportunity does not happen along, one makes one's own. He is known for his determination, ingenuity, and business sense, the latter a skill backers of his work appreciate. Behind the camera, Josh has directed live streams and live-to-tape segments, and is a master at stewarding artists, focusing on each individual's special talents to bring out their best. He brings innovative and astute marketing and promotion techniques to our table.
