At the beginning of the year, ahead of the Australian Open, Auteur Studios teamed up with rising tennis star @eva.lys to create a cinematic spec piece focused on the mindset behind elite performance.
Off court, Eva has an infectious personality. But the moment training begins, everything changes. Locked in. Every shot hit with precision, intensity, and purpose.
This short concept was created by @jay.bevs during his off-time, a reminder that spec projects can be just as creatively fulfilling and important as client work.

Campaign frames for @mysamsonite
Earlier this year, we worked with Samsonite capturing a campaign celebrating human connection and a shared appreciation for the outdoors for their new Ecodiver collection.
We leaned entirely into natural light and handheld motion for this one to create imagery that felt immersive and emotionally raw.

Today, we officially step into Auteur Studios.
Since forming our partnership under BeVisuals, we’ve had the privilege of working across the full spectrum of productions, from lean three-person crews to six-figure international campaigns with global teams. Through this process, we’ve experienced firsthand the strengths and the friction of both ends.
The speed and intimacy of small crews. The scale and structure of large productions.
And we’ve learned where creativity thrives, and where it can get lost.
With Auteur Studios, we’re intentionally positioning ourselves right in the middle. Cinema quality, executed by a lean, world class crew of artists. We keep decision-making tight, and most importantly, we stay close to the passion of the craft.
Our intention will always remain the same: quality over quantity. We create story-led, brand-driven films. In a world of evolving soulless AI generation, we want to tell handcrafted, human lead stories, directed by true artists and visionaries.
In the process of building Auteur Studios, we’ve been genuinely overwhelmed by the demand and early support, including attention from some of the world’s leading brands who want to walk this journey with us and bring these human lead stories to life in new ways. Throughout this process of building this agency, we’ve learned so much about this industry and the creative process within it. We believe there are not enough people building in public, sharing knowledge as founders and opening up about their processes. So alongside our studio, we’ll be introducing the Auteur Circle, our community arm dedicated to eduction, mentorship, digital assets and sharing the process behind our craft.
We’re taking everything we’ve learnt to get to where we are today, everything we wished someone would of taught us, and turning it into something that empowers the next generation of filmmakers and storytellers to operate independently, confidently, and creatively. Bear with us, as this is still a long journey ahead and we’re just getting started. But we look forward to sharing every step of the way. - Dan & Jay
Even in darkness, there is light.
I had an idea to film with my nana during the chanuka period the other week, but with the recent terror attack in Bondi it felt more prevalent than ever. My nana is my light, a 98 Holocaust survivor and despite all the atrocities she’s witnessed and experiences, still her faith, strength and love shine through.
