Petrichor Studios
films that feel like rain.
A good story doesn’t just show you the world — it reshapes how you move through it.
petrichor (n.): the smell of rain falling on dry earth.
At Petrichor Studios, we make films that feel like that: stirring something powerful, emotional, and alive.
Our work spans narrative, documentary, and editorial forms. We are guided by care, curiosity, and a belief in the power of story to shift how we see ourselves and the world.
