● Film collective · Amsterdam & Rotterdam

Stories beyond
the surface.

Film and photography for brands, companies and cultural organisations. From commercials and company films to stage recordings, documentaries and photo reports.

Who we are

We look beyond
the first image.

Faraz, Alex and Robert. A producer, a dancer who became a director and a videographer with a journalist's eye. We make films and photographs: commissioned by brands, organisations and stages, and on our own initiative, because some stories need telling.

To us, film and photography are two sides of the same eye. We look for what lies beneath the surface: the glance, the movement, the moment someone forgets there is a camera.

Behind the scenes

This is how we work.

Setting up light, putting someone at ease, waiting for the right moment. What you see here is us on set, on location, on real jobs.

  1. Getting to know youWe start with a conversation: what do you want to say, and to whom?
  2. ShootingOn location with the same fixed team, from camera to light and sound.
  3. FinishingEdit, colour and sound in our own hands, until the film is right.
