Scope of Work

Concept · Production · Photography · Videography

Venice resists interpretation; it has to be understood slowly, through detail and memory.

Commissioned by René Caovilla, the film marked the first time a luxury house stepped away from product and commerce, to pay tribute to the city itself.

Destination Film

A choice that resonated beyond the project itself, leading to international recognition and coverage across major publications.

Selected press coverage

The absence became the statement.

Every project begins with a conversation.
