A single-shot festive film for Nyetimber, celebrating a very different Christmas 2020.
Using a technocrane inside the lovely Store Cupboard studio, we repeated and refined the camera move again and again to get the perfect reveal moment. Teamed with a bespoke piano score composed in house, the result is a simple interpretation of the ‘Christmas Ad’.

Brother Film is a creative production company, founded by brothers.
From making skate films on VHS as kids, Brother has developed into a production company based in Peckham, London. With a small core team and a tight network of world-class directors and crew, we pride ourselves on delivering creative work with good people.
We love seeing a concept through from idea generation to the final file upload, but are equally adept at jumping into a project at any stage.
Peckham is a big part of Brother’s DNA, and we started up a local event series, Peckham Filmmakers, to link up local creatives and hero their work.
Our sister company Brother Music is an award-winning music and sound studio, creating bespoke scores and soundscapes for both Brother’s work and a range of other directors, agencies and production companies.
We’re still enthusiastic skater kids at heart, and want that to bleed through into everything we do.
