Bespoke Cinematic Film Commissions

For Design-Driven Brands, Studios & Houses

We are opening a limited number of bespoke cinematic film commissions for brands and studios whose work carries atmosphere, craftsmanship, and narrative depth.

These films are cinematic brand narratives — created as primary visual assets that can be used across brand, editorial, and digital channels while retaining narrative and cinematic depth.

This work is developed alongside our original productions, including Meaning Living and Bond of Love and Meaning Elegance.


What This Work Is

These films are developed with the pacing, visual language, and emotional restraint of independent filmmaking.

They focus on:

  • atmosphere and presence

  • narrative flow rather than messaging

  • editorial, art-led direction

  • visual longevity beyond short-term trends

Each film is conceived as a primary visual asset, capable of anchoring brand, editorial, and digital contexts while retaining cinematic integrity.


How This Differs From Other Formats

This work is intentionally distinct from:

  • fast-turnaround social content

  • real estate or purely descriptive walkthroughs

  • standard promotional brand videos

  • performance-driven advertising

Two Commission Formats

1. Cinematic Space Portrait

(mostly for interior studios, architects, spatial designers, beauty products, home fragrance and more)

A short cinematic film exploring how a space feels, unfolds, and lives.

Focus:

  • atmosphere

  • materiality

  • rhythm of movement

  • emotional presence of the space

Typical structure:

  • opening atmospheric vignette

  • movement through the space

  • texture & detail close-ups

  • subtle narrative layer shaped from your philosophy

  • a visual crescendo that defines the space’s character


2. Cinematic Object & Craft Portrait

(mostly for jewellery houses, fashion, craft-driven brands, bridal, beauty brands)

A poetic, narrative-driven short film where objects are lived with, not displayed.

Focus:

  • intimacy

  • gesture

  • symbolism

  • tactile presence

Pieces are integrated naturally into a cinematic moment — worn, touched, remembered.

This approach draws from the narrative language developed for Bond of Love of Meaning Elegance.

What You Receive

Each commission includes:

  • One cinematic short film
    (time: depending on scope)

  • Narrative & visual direction
    Story structure, mood, pacing, and cinematic framing developed specifically for your brand

  • Curated cinematic stills
    Selected frames suitable for editorial use

  • Editorial positioning
    Your film becomes part of our curated body of cinematic work

Usage, licensing, and deliverables are clearly defined in advance.


Production & Availability

Production is handled on a project-by-project basis, with filming taking place in selected international locations.

To preserve creative focus and production quality, we accept a maximum of two commissions per month.

Current availability is limited, with upcoming production windows aligned around early 2026 schedules.
These films are produced alongside our original projects, availability is limited by design.


Investment


Cinematic commissions are produced on a professional production basis,
with a participation fee reflecting scope, location, and production complexity.

Details are shared individually after a brief alignment conversation.

Our Production Model

We operate on a commission-based studio model, producing a small number of cinematic films in parallel with our original narrative work.

This approach allows us to:

  • maintain consistent cinematic quality

  • work with a limited number of brands per cycle

  • dedicate full creative and production resources to each film

For participating studios and houses, this means access to a level of narrative direction, cinematography, and editorial framing typically reserved for large-scale productions, without entering long-term campaigns or agency retainers.

Next Steps

If you’ve received an invitation — or would like to enquire — please reply or apply with:

“Cinematic Commission – Details”

We’ll share:

  • available production windows

  • scope examples

  • alignment questions


A note on our original series

Selected commissions may also inform or align with our upcoming original formats, including:

  • Meaning Living — cinematic studies of space & atmosphere

  • Bond of Love — narrative films where objects carry emotional meaning

  • Meaning Elegance - our Bridal TV show format.

Participation in a commission does not require commitment to a series.
