    El Grito RebrandingEl Grito is a videography studio based in London, UK, and Lima, Peru. They offer a range of creative services and a broad directory of talent around the world.

  • Collision | Junction Issue 01
    Collision | Junction Issue 01It's our self-initialed project that explores different perspectives and experience from abroad students in art and design fields. The first issue we're talking about is education differences between Eastern and Western.
