The Build

the shoot day, documented.

one afternoon on location. hooks and shot list written before we arrived. every drink built on camera in natural light. no studio, no staging beyond the bar itself.

the numbers section lands here when the 30 day report closes. until then, the work speaks for itself below. which is the point of a shoot day.

nine reels. one story. nine stills.
one afternoon.
