Challenge

To craft a documentary fusing Esquire's fashion identity with Genesis' luxury cars in London ‒ despite the client's lack of location direction, a non-existent shooting plan, and a 7-day countdown to the editor-in-chief's arrival. 

Project Overview

Commissioned by Genesis & Esquire to fuse fashion and automotive elegance in London, we leveraged bi-cultural expertise to solve the client's location uncertainty. Blending local insights with cross-industry creativity, we curated iconic yet niche settings ‒ Savile Row's bespoke ateliers juxtaposed with Genesis cars against London's dynamic backdrops. With rapid coordination, we secured permits, enlisted a last-minute drone operator for sweeping aerial shots, and orchestrated cinematic scenes. Live updates with the editor-in-chief ensured alignment, while agile problem-solving turned logistical chaos into a cohesive vision. The result? A visually arresting, culturally sharp film delivered in record time, proving how strategic local expertise transforms ambiguity into art.
