Studio

The room where it's cut

We are fourteen directors, cinematographers, editors and colorists working out of a former grain silo in Rotterdam's Merwehaven. We take fewer jobs than we're offered and finish every frame ourselves — no farmed-out post, no autopilot, no house style.

Est. 2019 Merwehaven, Rotterdam 14 people · 3 suites Grade: HDR & film print emulation

Direction

Treatment to final cut — in-house directors for commercials, docs and music video.

Own glass, own grip. Alexa 35 and 16mm when the job deserves the grain.

Edit

Three suites cutting offline through conform, with the director in the room.

Color

Grades built from film print emulation — never a LUT dropped on a timeline.

Sound

Design and mix for broadcast, cinema and very loud rooms.

06

Motion & Titles

Type-driven title sequences and end-to-end animated pieces.
