Tocaya is the filmmaking collaboration between Indian-American writer-designer Ambika Subra and Mexican director Mónica G. Carter. 

Based in Mexico City, their multilingual films explore the spaces between cultures, where different ways of understanding the world meet, collide, and give rise to a universal “third culture.” Moving between genres, their stories find intimacy and connection within the strange, unsettling, and absurd.

Tocaya approaches each film as an ecosystem, expanding its narrative world through fashion, music, choreography, and community collaboration. This interdisciplinary practice builds stories and relationships that continue beyond the screen.
