Services

We develop concepts, write stories, and produce — from first idea to final frame. Whether you need a full production crew on the ground in Croatia, an AI-powered campaign, or someone to help your team learn the tools — we're built for all of it.

Production

Full-service photo and film production across Croatia — from first scout to final delivery. We've spent over a decade producing for international broadcasters, global brands, and independent creators. We don't just show up and shoot — we develop concepts, write briefs, and build the creative framework before a single frame is captured.

Creative Development

We assist from the earliest stages — offering creative direction, concept ideation, storyboarding, casting, talent booking, art direction, set design, wardrobe styling, and full on-set production support. Your project gets a complete creative foundation, not just execution.

Location Scouting & Management

Croatia offers an incredibly diverse range of filming locations — from over 1,000 islands and coastal roads to snowy mountain peaks and modern villas. We find the perfect location for your shoot, including custom location scouting, unique off-the-grid spots, permitting and coordination. Whether you need a cliffside lighthouse, a hidden beach, or a medieval castle — we can find it, and secure it.

Production Logistics & Coordination

Our team handles everything on the ground: crew hiring, scheduling, budget management, equipment rental, accommodation, transportation, catering, and on-set client support. Smooth operations from start to finish.

Adaptable to Any Scale

We work with both boutique teams and large international crews, adjusting to the unique rhythm and needs of each production. From fast-paced commercials to intimate editorials, we bring cinematic sensibility and precision logistics to every project.

Analog Film & Photography

We shoot on analog — 35mm, 16mm film, and analog video.

For high fashion, editorial, and brands that want something real: the texture, the grain, the weight of an image made on film. Analog isn't a limitation — it's a choice. It forces intention into every frame, and delivers a quality that digital simulates but never quite reaches.

Oleg started his career shooting stills on analog film. That eye — trained on light, composition, and patience — informs everything we do, regardless of the tool.

If your project calls for something with presence, something that feels made rather than generated — this is it.

AI Production

We use AI not as a shortcut, but as a creative instrument.

Our AI production pipeline covers branded content, music videos, short-form video, and visual storytelling — with the same cinematic standard we bring to everything else. The difference between us and someone with a Runway subscription is a decade of understanding why a frame works, not just how to generate one.

What we offer:

Concept development and creative direction for AI projects AI-assisted branded video content Music video production with AI Short-form content for social, web, and vertical platforms AI-enhanced post-production — colour, VFX, compositing Visual concept development with AI prototyping Hybrid workflows — combining live-action footage with AI-generated elements Content packages for brands and creators

Our approach:

We develop a bespoke visual style for every project — no templates, no generic outputs. Each project starts with creative direction rooted in filmmaking principles: colour theory, composition, lighting, pacing. Then we build it using the best tool for the job, whether that's Runway, Seedance, Kling, or a combination.

The result is content that looks and feels intentional — not like something a machine made on its own.

Workshops & Consulting

We teach what we practice. Our workshops bring a decade of professional filmmaking knowledge into the AI production space — something most AI educators don't have, and most filmmakers haven't learned yet.

Live Workshops for Companies

Half-day or full-day sessions for marketing teams, agencies, and media companies. We cover AI video production, prompt engineering for visual content, directing and editing within AI workflows, and how to integrate AI tools into existing production pipelines. Practical, hands-on, built around your team's actual needs.

One-on-One Mentoring

For individual creators, filmmakers, and producers who want to build their own AI production skills. Personalised sessions focused on your specific goals and projects.

Workflow Development

We design and implement custom AI production workflows for companies — from initial analysis through ComfyUI setup, system prompt writing, testing, documentation, and team training. You get a production-ready pipeline, not a theoretical framework.
