New Balloon is a cross-platform media company dedicated to reimagining how audiences interact with stories, and one another.

OUR NORTH STAR

New Balloon leverages storytelling as a catalyst for prompting personal introspection.

We believe that stories have the power to open pathways for deeper human connection - to inspire more compassion among us, and within us.

We support the creation and sharing of moving picture content that takes no sides; that cracks open our shells of self-protection; that challenges viewers to experience what it might be like to be someone else.

We create spaces that encourage vulnerability, inviting audiences to take an unflinching look within themselves to find their own stories, and then share those stories with partners. Hearts on the table, seen.

PROJECTS

New Balloon has helped produce and/or release critically-acclaimed, emotionally stirring films like Beasts of No Nation, Crown Heights, and Last Days In The Desert, and perspective expanding documentaries like Dealt, Tickling Giants, and After Spring, among others. We also support the creation of immersive, multisensory experiences like We Live In An Ocean of Air.

Beasts of No Nation

“Written and directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, ‘Beasts of No Nation’ is based on Uzodinma Iweala's harrowing, linguistically dazzling novel of a child soldier's life.”

Beasts of No Nation

“The Sundance Audience Award winning film Crown Heights is the story of Colin Warner's wrongful conviction and his best friend's 21-year fight for Warner’s freedom.”

Beasts of No Nation

“A powerfully meditative experience that grapples with themes of faith, destiny, death, and fathers and sons, Last Days In The Desert possesses the attributes that have been the hallmark of writer-director Rodrigo García's best films: It’s emotionally uncluttered while being narratively ambitious.”

“Creating this forum for sharing vulnerabilities is just so powerful. It makes it a much more meaningful, and lasting experience of a film.”
