Diageo × Lime Cordiale
Some brands don't need more content — they need thirty seconds so well made that everything around it looks ordinary. Short-form cinematic is that format: the runtime of an ad, the craft of a film. Composed frames, motivated light, a real grade and sound design that earns headphones — compressed into a piece short enough to run anywhere.
The Diageo × Lime Cordiale collaboration is the reference — thirty seconds where every frame could hang as a still. That is the standard the format demands, and it is the work our crew most enjoys making, because nothing can hide in it. It suits brands that compete on taste: drinks, fashion, hospitality, property at the premium end — anywhere the audience judges the product by the company it keeps. Shot in 6K at 24fps, the cinema standard, with the grade doing as much storytelling as the camera.
What the format covers
A 15–60 second film built shot by shot from boards — art-directed, graded like cinema and mixed for sound-on viewing. The flagship of the format.
When two names share a frame — the Diageo × Lime Cordiale model — the film has to honour both. We build treatments that give each brand its moment without the piece splitting in two.
A launch window deserves one unforgettable piece, not twenty forgettable ones. The cinematic spot leads, and its frames feed the stills, verticals and teasers around it.
The hero piece plus its 15s, 6s and vertical siblings, cut from the same material so the campaign keeps its cinema even in the feed.

FAQ
The decisions. Composition, motivated lighting, a real colour grade, 24fps motion and sound design carry it — the 6K camera package just makes sure nothing technical gets in the way. That's why the treatment matters more here than in any other format we make.
It's the point. The format trades runtime for density — one piece good enough to rewatch beats a minute that's merely fine. And the hero shoot feeds the cutdowns and stills, so the investment stretches across the whole campaign.
Anyone whose next problem is volume — if the feed needs four posts a week, a social campaign serves you better. Cinematic short-form is for the moments where one piece has to carry the brand's taste.
Yes — give us the boards, the reference films or the stills. We regularly execute under existing art direction, and the grade is built to sit inside the campaign, not compete with it.
