Stories that awaken. Wisdom that transforms.
HunchMaker is a film series and community built on a single, powerful belief: your deepest intuition is the most honest compass you will ever own.
We find and film the stories of "HunchMakers"—courageous individuals who have navigated away from the expected path to build lives of purpose and impact. These are not stories of overnight success. They are intimate portraits of resilience, doubt, and the quiet joy of listening to one’s inner voice.
Our mission is to prove that every person has a unique contribution to make. We share the stories that awaken that potential and provide the insights that help you act on it. The best way to understand this mission is to feel it. This short film is a collection of the quiet, human moments at the heart of our work.

How It Works
HunchMaker is a simple, two-part ecosystem designed to move you from inspiration to action.
The Films (The Spark): Once a month, we release a new cinematic portrait documentary. These films are the heart of HunchMaker, designed to spark your imagination and expand your perspective. They are, and always will be, free for everyone.
The Playbooks & Sessions (The Path): For those who want to go deeper, we distill the wisdom from our films. We uncover the patterns, share the behind-the-scenes process, and connect with other creators to provide a practical path for your own journey.

A Note From the Founder
HunchMaker began with my own journey, walking away from a stable career to find a more honest way of living through documentary filmmaking. My work has taken me from the African bush to the heart of Europe, learning to listen in vastly different worlds. It's not just about finding stories; it’s about earning the trust that allows a simple, powerful truth to be told.
This platform is the culmination of that work. It's the space I wish I had when I started: a collection of proof that trusting your intuition is the most courageous and rewarding path you can take. I'm the guide for this journey, and I’m honoured to have you here.
