About

Fresnel is an independent production studio founded in 2014 by a director and a cinematographer who wanted to make fewer, better films.

(01) — Who we are

Twelve years, 300+ films and one rule: make work we’d stop scrolling for. Today we’re a core team of eight with a trusted network of crews across Europe.

(02) — How we work

Four things we don’t compromise on

01

Small, senior crews

The people who pitch your film are the people who make it. No hand-offs, no juniors learning on your budget.

02

Story before style

Every look, lens and lighting decision has to serve the idea. If it doesn’t, it goes.

03

One team, start to finish

Script, shoot, edit, grade and sound — all in-house, so nothing gets lost in translation.

04

Honest budgets

Three clear options in every proposal. You decide where the money goes; we tell you what it buys.
