Weeks one and two
We spend time with you and the people in the story before a camera comes out. No script yet, just questions and a lot of coffee.
a reel that
breathes
Two minutes and forty-eight seconds of this year's work: fog over a northern coast, a baker at four in the morning, a choir rehearsing in an empty pool.

gets made
Four stages, no shortcuts. Most projects take eight to twelve weeks from the first call to the first screening.
stay
Weeks three to six
We film over weeks, not days. The good moments come on the fourth morning, when nobody is performing anymore.
cut
Weeks seven to ten
Editing, colour and sound happen in our own studio, so the people who shot the film are the ones who finish it.
share
After that
A festival run, a cinema premiere or a quiet release online. We stay with the film until it finds its audience.
see it on
a big screen
Our films travel with us. Come to a screening, stay for the talk afterwards and bring the questions you would never ask in an email.
questions
people ask
If yours is not here, write to us. A real person answers, usually the one who will be holding the camera.
Most of our short documentaries and brand films land between eighteen and sixty thousand euros. You get a clear estimate after the first call, and it does not quietly grow later.
Yes, about half of our work happens somewhere else. We travel light: four people, one van and a kit that fits inside it.
Of course. You get two review rounds with timecoded notes, and we sit with you in the room for the final one.
You do. We only ask to show it in our reel and at festivals, and we always check with you first.
Three months before you need the film is comfortable. Six weeks is possible, but it changes what we can promise.
