MONOLITH (pronounced as it reads) is a creative studio developing and co-producing cinematic projects that expand and deepen the representation of diversity on screen. MONOLITH challenges the notion that diversity is a homogeneous entity.
MONOLITH provides methodological, creative, and logistical support to emerging voices throughout the filmmaking process. Particularly in the earliest phases where the studio serves as a practical workspace where ideas are systematically explored, analysed, formalised, evaluated and eventually filmed.
MONOLITH believes in the strength and the role of collaboration to bring stories to the forefront. Based on the specificities of each project, the studio seeks out suitable partners with which to join forces.
In addition to providing support, MONOLITH also invests in the early-stages development of chosen cinematic experiences.
Self Portrait, 13s, 2026
r. is a director and producer who dedicates his practice to the exploration of what makes us who we are. What makes us so unequivocally unique — and yet so eerily similar.
In doing so, r. tends to investigate the intricate process of building one’s identity, whether at the individual level or at the societal level. Through a slow, compassionate, and cinematic approach, r. seeks to uncover the motivations behind individual and communal decisions.
For each project, r. weaves the narrative, aesthetics, and sound into a singular tapestry explicitly embodying and conveying the nature of the subject. The aim is always to provide a nuanced, textured, and often contradictory portrait of the subject matter and of the contributors’ personalities.
r. brings a unique perspective, seeing the world through a complex cultural lens; hailing from the Caribbean island of Martinique, he has studied, worked and lived on 4 continents. His films have been screened at art exhibitions, festivals and showcases throughout Europe, Americas and the Caribbean.

dèyè do bon dié (“behind god’s back” in Martinican creole) means that something is so far away that even God, despite being omniscient, does not see it – or maybe, just doesn’t care. This experimental documentary paints a visceral and textured portrait of the Northern tip of the Caribbean Island of Martinique, capturing conversations about the meaning of home, danger and identity for those living on the slopes of a reawakening volcano.
