Cinematic brand films, made for the vertical frame.

Home Course

Three-film campaign

Golf played completely straight in places it was never meant to go: turf on a dockside roof, a living room on the fairway, a vacuum on the green.

Picture Day

Three-film campaign

First week back: a portrait on the mottled backdrop, a walk across the courtyard, the library before the bell.

Approach

Most brand advertising now plays on a phone. I make brand films for it: cinematic, conceived in 9:16 from the first frame, with a hook in the first second and pacing built for the scroll.

Not disposable content, and not a 16:9 commercial cropped down to fit.

A single film
One vertical film for a drop, a launch or a new season.
A three-film campaign
Three connected films from one idea, each with its own opening hook, so a campaign can run for weeks without repeating itself.

Turnaround, revisions and usage are agreed per project before anything starts.

How a film comes together

Brief
We talk through the product, the release and where it will run.
Hook
The idea, and the first second it opens on. Sent to you for sign-off.
Frame
Every shot composed for 9:16 around your pieces, never cropped from a wide.
Cut
Paced for the scroll and finished as files ready to post.
