Brand Film Production for Breweries

For breweries and distilleries

Billie shoots the founders and makers like a short documentary and lets the process carry the story.

On the shoot

Glass, steel and condensation

Shiny tanks, glassware and cold cans reflect everything, so product and process shots are lit to control reflections, and condensation is timed for when the camera is ready.

Working to the production calendar

Brew days, distillation runs and canning lines run to their own timetable, so a shoot is planned around production rather than the other way round.

The service

A brand film is the piece people watch all the way through: the founders, the craft, the reason the business exists. Billie approaches it like a short documentary, finding the real story first and shooting it with cinema-grade care.

What’s included

Story development and interviews
Cinematic shoot
Original or licensed score
Website and launch cuts
Social trailers

Which retainer suits

Essential at $1,500 NZD a month suits a small brewery or distillery that releases regularly and needs short-form edits for each launch. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month suits a producer with a tap room, events and several ranges to keep in front of people, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, suits a growing brand with ongoing campaign work. A brand film or a single campaign can be quoted as Bespoke Production.
