Welcome to the lucky x Bokeh Short Film Fund.

This project is a collaboration between Layla Bautista (the owner of Bokeh Media) and Emilie Shyluk (the owner of Lucky Number Nine Media).

About the project.

Every decision we make is shaped by a clear sense of purpose. Our journey has been anything but ordinary. Through every step, we've focused on staying true to our values and making space for thoughtful, lasting work.

We believe in simple ideas, strong relationships, and lasting impact. What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead.
