about projects

What happens when two people who've spent their entire careers immersed in the worlds of story, sound, and music find each other?

 

Well, first comes love... then comes marriage...

 

Then comes Sheir and Shim.

 

We specialize in sound-rich storytelling and compelling content, with handmade music and sound elements.
