Brand Film Production for Wineries

For wineries and vineyards

Billie shoots it like a short documentary, often across several visits so the film can show the vines changing through the season.

What Billie makes

Winemaker interview
Season-by-season vineyard footage
Short trailers for social

On the shoot

Planning around the season

Harvest, pruning, bud burst and the vines in full leaf each happen at a set time of year, so a winery shoot is often planned as several visits across the season rather than one day.

Light across the rows

Vineyards look best in low morning and evening light, so outdoor work is scheduled around sunrise and the last hours of the day, with the winery and cellar door filmed in the middle of the day.

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 cellar door that needs a regular flow of short-form content and a few finished pieces. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month suits a winery covering harvest, releases, a restaurant or events across the year, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, suits a larger wine brand with trade and export audiences. A single brand film is quoted as Bespoke Production, and weddings or launches at the vineyard can be produced by Billie Private, quoted per project.

Questions

Is this a paid service?

Yes. Billie is a paid production company. Production Retainers are $1,500 NZD a month for Essential and $3,000 NZD a month for Creative, and Studio Partner is priced on enquiry. Projects outside a retainer are quoted per project as Bespoke Production.

When is the best time of year to film a vineyard?

It depends on the story. Harvest gives the most activity, summer gives full canopy and long evenings, and winter pruning gives a stark, graphic look. Many wineries spread sessions across the year to cover all of it.

What is included?

Story development and interviews, cinematic shoot, original or licensed score, website and launch cuts, social trailers. The exact scope depends on the brief, and every quote is put together for the project.
