GROM - The Netherlands
GROM Productions is an independent Dutch production company aiming to produce a wide range of projects. Founders Sacha Gertsik and Steven Rubinstein Malamud aim to work on productions that challenge the norms of society and the industry. In everything they do, they actively aim to work with a diverse team: from directors and writers to other talents, in front and behind the camera. They try to look at anything they do through an intersectional lens and actively work towards a safer working environment for everyone involved in their productions and in the industry at large.
