Hotel films from photos.
Living Films made from your hotel photography, so guests can feel the stay before they arrive.
Photos show the room.
Film creates the feeling of being there.
A shoot means closing the pool at 5am and hoping for sun. We start from the photos you have, add the guests, and the hotel stays open.

Hotel FAQs.
Will it look like our hotel?
Yes. We start from your own photography, so the rooms and the views are the ones guests will find. We don't add anything you don't have.
Who are the people in the film?
A cast, the same way models are booked for any hotel shoot. They show how the stay feels, and you approve every face.
Do you need to come on site?
No. There's nothing to film. We work from your existing photography, so the hotel stays open.
What photos do you need?
Professional photography of the rooms and public spaces gives the best result. Send what you have and we'll tell you straight if it's enough.
Will it look like AI?
Real enough that the law makes us label it. A filmmaker checks every frame first, then it gets an EU AI Act label.
Can we have a film before we open?
Yes. That's a Launch Film, made from your renders and drawings, ready for the pre-opening website months before a photographer can get in.
How much does it cost, and how long does it take?
Hero Films start from $6,500 with your own script, or $11,500 with full creative. First cut in 4 to 5 business days.
Who owns the film, and where can we use it?
You do. All of it. Use it on your website, Google, paid social, and the group sales deck. We cut 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, and 4:5 versions for each.
