Brand documentaries
We explore an organisation through the people, processes and decisions that shape it. A story with context can reveal its identity, values and ways of working through the experiences behind them.
Some stories need time, careful listening and a distinctive point of view. At Letsfilm Studio, we produce documentaries that give people a voice and explore brands, institutions, communities and culture through cinematic storytelling.
Based in Palafrugell, we work with clients in Girona, the Empordà, Barcelona and across Catalonia. The scope of each production is agreed around the project.
01 / What we produce
We explore an organisation through the people, processes and decisions that shape it. A story with context can reveal its identity, values and ways of working through the experiences behind them.
We approach stories by listening to the people involved and understanding their surroundings. Research, interviews and filming help develop a coherent narrative that stays close to its subject.
We develop audiovisual projects about culture, memory and place. The relationship between testimony, locations and images helps us bring out what makes each story distinctive.
02 / How we work
We begin with the subject, purpose and intended audience. We identify narrative threads, possible contributors and available material, then develop the approach and the practical requirements for filming.
We plan interviews, locations and situations to observe. Cinematography, lighting and sound support the story while responding to the circumstances of each setting and the people taking part.
We organise the material to find the structure and pace of the film. Editing, colour and sound shape the narrative, followed by the versions agreed for its intended presentation channels.
03 / Your project
Before settling on a running time or a number of interviews, we establish what the film needs to say and why it matters. A personal account, a working process and a changing landscape can call for very different ways of filming.
We also review any archive footage, photographs or other material available for the project. Their use and associated requirements are discussed during preparation. If the production needs a main film and shorter digital pieces, we plan those together from the outset.
04 / Who we work with
We work with businesses, organisations, institutions and agencies looking to tell a real story with narrative and visual care. A project can begin with an initial idea or with research and material already in place.
Our proposal sets out the scope, stages and deliverables. This allows us to plan around the content, resources and schedule of each documentary.
05 / Before we begin
Yes. The first conversation helps us understand the story, objectives, potential contributors and available material. From there, we can propose an approach to developing the project.
That depends on the story, audience and intended setting. We establish the running time and any supporting pieces during development, rather than applying one fixed length to every production.
We can agree deliverables around the technical requirements of the intended destination. Publication, broadcast and platform selection conditions need to be considered as part of the individual project.
Research, the number of filming days and interviews, travel, archive material and post-production. We establish those needs first so the proposal reflects the actual scope of the commission.
Shall we begin?
Tell us about your idea, objectives and intended dates. We will establish what the production needs and propose the next steps.
