P. Tavares and JJ Osbun are award-winning filmmakers and heads of Squall Films and Monarex Hollywood, respectively.

After creating a short thriller that performed well at festivals, “Don’t Tear Yourself Apart” is Tavares’ debut feature, pulling together an excellent cast and production that shot a 100 minute film in 10 days. Producing and filming a low budget feature during Covid made for an opportunity to shoot non-traditionally with new technologies and tools that delivered results exceeding their cost. Every frame of DTYA was recorded on an iPhone 11 Pro & 12 Pro, utilizing 1.33 Anamorphic lenses.
