Killjoy was founded in New York in 2014 and moved to Berlin in 2016. We produce short and feature narrative projects with a focus on new voices and emerging directors from around the globe.

We think a story can and should contain the complexity of what it is to be human and we strive for content that is daring and undeterred by fear of perception. Many of our films exist in the tension between joy and heartbreak, between the generosity of our better natures and the twinge of petty selfishness.

Our films are incise and meandering, profoundly generous and tightly composed, funny and gut-wrenchingly sad. We’ve co-produced films with Germany, Argentina, Portugal, and Scotland. The films have premiered worldwide including festivals such as Sundance, TIFF, Clermont Ferrand, and Cannes.

Destroy All Girls 
Pre-Production

In this gritty coming of age drama, ALEX (played by Ani Messa), a young queer Latinx athlete follows in the footsteps of her older brother, GABRIEL, a former competitive rollerblader who was paralyzed in a skating accident. Finding liberation from the restraints of her abusive family through skating, she falls in with a group of nomadic street skaters whose toxic cult-like leader threatens to destroy her ability to carve out a path in the sport she’s grown to love.

Directed by Marian Mathias
Written by Ani Mesa and Gil Perez-Abraham
Produced by Joy Jorgensen and Benjamin Cohen
