He's the co-founder and director at Monsoons Creative Studio, an independently registered and licensed film production company. Muchina is currently helping run a program called Art & Science Films Afrika (ASFA) designed to investigate ritual practices in prehistoric Africa, and the role art plays as a vestige of the knowledge informing these rituals.

A mythical short film that charts the journey of a priestess attempting to cross the threshold between mortal and immortal worlds in search of resources for her ailing world.
