Documentaries & series
The long story, told properly.
Documentaries, brand stories and episodic series for institutions, destinations and brands: the research, the access, the filming over weeks and the finished story, carried by one house from the first interview to the last episode.

Documentaries & series
Long form and episodic — real people, real places, a story that holds.
What the house brings
A story, not a montage
Research and a narrative spine come first; the camera follows people and places over time, so the film holds for its full length.
Built for episodes
A series is planned as one production: shared visual language, a release calendar and cut-downs for the feed, so ten episodes feel like one work.
Fluent with institutions
The house has worked inside ministries, foundations and giga-projects: access, approvals and protocol are handled quietly, and the story stays the story.
How the work runs
Research and access
Interviews, archives and locations are scouted before a camera is booked; the people and the places the story needs are confirmed.
The narrative spine
A treatment and an episode map the client signs: what each chapter has to say, and what it has to show.
Filming over time
Shot across days or weeks by the house's own crew, with the discipline of a documentary and the finish of a film.
The edit, the series, the feed
Story edit, grade, sound and subtitles in-house, then the episodes and their feed cuts delivered to the release calendar.
How to start
One film. Then the campaign. Then the year.
Start with one phase you can measure. Each one is built to stand on its own, and to lead to the next when the numbers say so.

No phase is a fragment. Each one is made to the same standard as the whole, and the next one starts when the numbers say so.
Ask where to startQuestions buyers ask.
Who asks for documentaries?
Institutions telling their own story, destinations opening to the world, foundations and programmes with a mission to show, and brands with a heritage worth a longer form.
How long does a documentary take?
It depends on the story. A single film usually runs eight to twelve weeks from research to delivery; a series is planned as a calendar, with the first episodes delivered while later ones are still filming.
Can a series be made for social platforms?
Yes. Each episode is delivered in its long form and in vertical cuts for the feed, planned as one production so the series reads as one work wherever it is watched.
Who owns the footage?
The client, for the agreed use. Interviews are released in writing, music and archive are licensed, and the raw material is archived for the client's future use.
