Stills package

A succession story told from the inside of a business its founder built and could not put down.

The challenge

A forty-year-old firm needed to signal a generational handover without losing the authority its founder represented.

The idea

One night in an empty office. One man deciding what to leave behind. The film never explains the business — it lets the weight of the decision do the work.

The outcome

Used as the centrepiece of a rebrand, a recruitment push and an investor round from a single three-day shoot.
