Story driven films for brands that want to connect
Good brand videos aren't about fancy effects or corporate speak. They're about showing who you actually are. I work with founders and teams to create films that people genuinely want to watch because they're honest, not because they're trying too hard.
Case Studies
Company NAME
They needed a brand film that showed what their café was actually like: good food, nice space, staff who give a damn.
What we set out to capture
The morning rush. Staff joking around between orders. Regulars in their usual spots. The kind of stuff that makes a café feel like yours.
The emotional angle
We wanted people to watch it and think "I want to go there" not because we told them to, but because it looked like somewhere they'd actually enjoy.
The final film
A film that looked beautiful without being pretentious. It worked too. More locals started coming in, and the regulars loved seeing their café on screen.
Company NAME
Create a short brand film that captures their heart: warm spaces, honest food, and the people who make the place feel like home.
What we set out to capture
The quiet rhythm of the café. Hands at work. Laughter between staff. The glow of morning light on familiar faces.
The emotional angle
Connection. A place where people feel seen. A reminder that simple moments matter.
The final film
A soft, cinematic piece that brought their brand story to life and helped them deepen their presence in the local community.

Brands I Work With
What clients often ask
How do you approach commercial projects?
First I figure out what you're actually about. Not your mission statement rubbish, but what you genuinely care about. Then we make something that shows that.
What types of businesses do you work with?
Usually smaller businesses where the founder still answers emails. People who'd rather be genuine than look like every other company.
Do you help with ideas and direction?
Yeah, I'll help you work out what to film and how to film it. You don't need to arrive with a perfect plan.
How long does a project take?
Usually a few weeks from first chat to final film. I'll tell you upfront what's involved.
What does the filming day look like?
Pretty relaxed. We'll have a plan but won't stress if things go differently. The best moments usually happen when we're not forcing them.
Can you work with our team or agency?
Sure, I play well with others. Whether it's your marketing person or an agency, we'll make it work.
Do you offer photography too?
I stick to video, but I know good photographers if you need one.
How much involvement do we need?
Up to you. Some clients want to be involved in everything, others just show up on filming day. Both work fine.
What if we're not used to being on camera?
Most people hate it at first. I'm good at making people forget the camera's there. You'll be fine.
How do we get started?
Send me an email about your business and what you're thinking. We'll have a chat and go from there.
