We're thrilled to have 'These Streets' out there in the world, making its way through the festival circuit. It's an important story that we're so proud to share, and we can't wait for more audiences to experience it.
"These Streets" is more than a film, it's a powerful message about the resilience of the working-class . We're grateful for the opportunity to share this story with the world.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this incredible journey.

Reflecting back on the start of 2023, we couldn't be prouder of the incredible journey that brought us to that point.
It's been a massive achievement for our team, and we're so grateful to have had the opportunity to bring powerful stories to life.
Here's to the hustle, creativity, and passion that went into making Underscore Cinema and the brilliant Working Class talent that led that event. February 2023 was a month to remember.

There’s one week to go.
In 7 days, Underscore Cinema takes over the Rio Cinema once again!
On Saturday, 7th February, we’re bringing together bold short films, working-class voices, and the filmmakers behind the work.
You’ll see films that don’t usually get the spotlight.
You’ll hear directly from the filmmakers in conversation after the screening. And you’ll be part of a room full of people who care about who gets to make art — and who gets to be seen.
