Films that make brands
impossible to ignore.
Not a tool. A studio. You brief us, we deliver a finished cinematic film in days.
Our work.
The Newark Hustle is a proof-of-concept short film we produced to show what our studio can do. A gritty urban story, shot for craft, not a client.
Shot to ARRI Alexa 35 aesthetics. Anamorphic lenses, 4K grade.
How we think about brands.
Three unsolicited treatments written to show our creative process. Each one is a pitch we'd send to a CMO on a Tuesday and start shooting on a Friday.
“A retired Le Mans driver takes his final run on a rain-slicked mountain road at 4am: not to prove anything to the world, but to say goodbye to the version of himself who still needs to.”
ARRI Alexa 35 with vintage anamorphic glass. Desaturated base with lifted blacks and a warm orange push in the highlights. Rain-diffused streetlights as natural bokeh.
“Two strangers at the end of a wedding, standing at the bar after everyone else has gone home, discover the most honest conversation they've had in years over two glasses of something old and dark.”
Vintage anamorphic glass wide open. Everything desaturated except the amber in the glass, which holds full saturation throughout. Candlelight-colored base. Tungsten practicals only.
“Forty minutes before the most important night of her career, a choreographer sits alone in her dressing room and decides, for the first time, that she is already enough.”
Single source window light on the left. Cool midtones, warm highlights. No softening. The fragrance bottle on the vanity is the only saturated element in the frame.
These are spec pitches, not client work. They exist to show what a brief looks like when it's right.

What clients say.
“We needed a 90-second brand film in under two weeks. Still Frame delivered on day six. The color grading looked like something we'd paid $40K for in the past.”Marcus T.
“Three films from one brief, each cut for a different platform. Our agency would have charged $12K and taken six weeks. This came back in four days and our engagement rate doubled.”Priya N.
“What I can't get from Runway or any self-serve tool is creative direction. Still Frame understood our brand voice before the first call ended. That's what we were paying for.”Jerome B.
Common questions.
Do you really deliver in 7 days?
Yes. Our Brand Film ships in 7 business days from the brief. The Social Story Pack is 5 days. The Campaign Series is 10. If we miss the deadline, we refund 20% of the project fee. No questions.
We already have AI tools. Why use Still Frame?
The tools give you footage. We give you a film. Creative direction, visual language, color grading, music selection, editing rhythm: those are what turn raw output into something a brand can actually use. Most teams find the gap is wider than they expected.
What if we don't love the first cut?
Every package includes two revision rounds. Tell us what isn't working and we address it specifically. If after two rounds the film still isn't right, we give you a full credit toward a future project.
Do you work with brands outside Newark?
We're based in Newark, but all production is remote-friendly. We've worked with brands in New York, Atlanta, and LA. Geography isn't the limitation. A strong brief is.
