A passion for storytelling.
After over three decades of creating innovative and award winning audio post production equipment under the banners of dSP, Smart AV and Monarc Media Labs, and a decade of creating innovative media experiences under the banners of Transmedia Entertainment and Cobalt Media, we have decided to focus on our passion for storytelling and filmmaking as Zenso.

Synopsis
Remember Belsen is a moving interpretation of Alfred Hitchcock’s film F3080, which captured the horror with which British and Canadian liberators were confronted with at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in April 1945.
This eye-witness account is told by five Jewish survivors, a cameraman, and well-known Australian war artist Alan Moore, who was the first to record the horrors of Bergen-Belsen with his art.
The documentary features characters heroic, evil, and enterprising — some destined for fame, others for infamy. But even against such an inhospitable and mind-numbing landscape, the seeds of friendship were sown which would blossom many decades later.

Cassandra Andreadis is a professional fashion photographer with a secret; a ghost has haunted her almost her entire life. In an attempt to find peace, she undertakes a journey to the place where her story first began. Finding herself among extended family in a strangely foreign place, Cassandra begins to see things through a different prism. Against the closed world of her own people, she witnesses the awful truth of another hidden life leaking out onto the darkened streets around her.
When Cassandra meets an impossibly young woman caught up in the world of human sex trafficking, she understands she can no longer be the bystander. Now, Cassandra is about to risk everything to make this one thing right, and in so doing, will uncover a web of evil that stretches across the globe.
