2025… a year we won’t forget.
A year of learning, travelling, sharpening the craft, raising the bar, and building with some unreal brands + some of the best creatives in the game.
From fast-paced fitness events to luxury retreats, our 2025 showreel reel is just a snapshot of the graft, the trust and the progress.
Big love to everyone who backed us, briefed us, collaborated and believed in the vision.
2026, we’re coming 🔥

How do you turn a hotel experience into content that drives bookings?
Three full-on (but amazing) days… and that’s not counting pre and post-production!
In that time, we captured the full Louma experience - turning what they offer into a set of visuals designed to connect with their audience and support real ROI.
This is just a small glimpse of the output: a promotional website film alongside a bank of social-first content, all built to work together across channels.
It was a pleasure working with the team at @louma_countryhotel , who catered to all our production requirements, in such a beautiful part of England.
Working alongside Louma’s PR team at @mason_rose - who know the hotel inside and out - bought valuable insight in helping to shape how the story was told on screen.

When we were asked to travel to the headquarters of @piper_heidsieck in France with the talented head chefs from @thecoachmarlow , we were immediately excited about the project!
The brief was to follow the chefs’ journey as they developed their own champagne, crafted to pair with their favourite dishes.
We captured the entire process from the craft and heritage, to the tasting and the culinary decisions behind each pairing, aiming for a clean, cinematic hospitality story.
Alongside a 3-minute long-form film documenting the full journey, we also created shorter, social-first assets for both Piper-Heidsieck and The Coach’s Instagram channels.
The longer film was designed for depth and narrative, and the shorter edits for reach and engagement, while keeping a consistent visual language throughout.
We shaped real processes into considered, cinematic narratives that feel clear, intentional, and aligned with how modern audiences consume content.
Our focus on storytelling within hospitality means our work goes beyond simple documentation. It stands out, helping our clients to distinguish themselves and really engage with thier audiences.
A successful shoot, and happy clients 🥂🍝

Louma Country Hotel came to us with a clear challenge - an exceptional, premium experience that wasn’t being fully reflected in their brand or digital presence.
Our role was to close that gap.
Through a considered rebrand, refined visual direction, and a suite of high-quality social content, we translated the in - person experience into a cohesive, digital-first identity. One that captures the atmosphere, the detail, and most importantly, the people behind it.
The result is a brand that feels aligned at every touchpoint - elevated, consistent, and true to the standard Louma delivers every day.
If you’re looking to achieve the same for your brand, get in touch.
Big thanks to @mason_rose for getting us onboard this project 🔥

When a client asks for something different, we deliver.
For this project, @hiltonhonors wanted a film shot entirely from the perspective of their guest, from check-in at @graduatehotels Cambridge through to Hilton’s VIP hospitality experience at the Boat Race.
A unique concept that needed the right balance of creative thinking and technical execution.
Big thanks to the Hilton team for entrusting us on this project!

@xandwhyspace gave us a one-line brief most brands miss:
“We’re not building space. We’re creating human connection.”
So we shot moments, not interiors - morning yoga, midday shifts, evenings that turn into memories.
‘Meet Us in the Moments’
→ 1 shoot day
→ 3 outputs: LinkedIn film, IG cut, full photo suite
Same story, built for each platform - not repurposed.
It works because it starts with feeling, not format.
That’s the difference.
When @xandwhyspace came to us with a brief about connection, we wanted to show it rather than say it.
Two people. Two very different days. One place where it all comes together - The Arding Rooms.
We took the brief and built everything from the ground up. Concept, shoot, edit. The idea was simple: xandwhy spaces aren’t just places to work, they’re where your world and someone else’s can meet in the same moment.

Are GoPro’s enough?
Shot on GoPro, cut for feature films. Can you switch between a GoPro and cinema camera in an edit? We all know the jarring Barrel Rider shot from The Hobbit... have GoPros come far enough since then?
We’ll let you decide in the comments.
