Got a love story that could only happen because borders exist? We want to hear it.

We’re making Visa Versa, a feature film built from a series of short love stories set in different countries and cultures, all connected by the strange, frustrating, funny, painful and sometimes completely absurd realities of immigration. We’re looking for filmmakers with authentic stories and a sense of adventure who want to make something together. Send us a story that feels true to a world you know, and if we fall in love with it, we’ll figure out how to make it together and turn it into part of our feature film.

Make sure to follow the guidelines and if you want to see how this whole thing started, watch the first Visa Versa short - shot in Madrid in just one day!
