Existentia Films

VIDEO PRODUCTION – PORTUGAL & INTERNATIONAL

Brand films & documentaries,
shaped around your story

For people and organisations building something they believe in, ready to show the world what they do and why it matters.

Three formats, one approach

Whether you want to express your purpose, communicate your mission, or go deeper into your story, we help you choose the format that fits your message and audience.

01 / EXPRESS YOUR PURPOSE

Manifesto films

Around 1 minute

Cinematic and scripted. A short film that captures the essence of your brand and makes people connect with it emotionally. Built for your website homepage, a launch campaign or a pitch.

02 / COMMUNICATE YOUR MISSION

Brand films

3 to 5 minutes

Honest and compelling. A brand film that communicates your mission and makes people understand who you are. Combines interviews, real environments and documentary storytelling.

03 / GO DEEPER INTO YOUR STORY

Brand documentaries

8 to 15 minutes

Human and real. A documentary film that goes deeper into your story and makes people genuinely believe in what you stand for. Our most ambitious format, built for organisations with a meaningful story to tell.

For those building something that matters

We work with conscious brands, wellness organisations, impact-driven startups, foundations and NGOs, and eco-projects across Portugal and internationally.

Our clients share a common thread: they do something that matters to them and to others, and they want a film that reflects that depth honestly.

From creative brief
to final delivery

We approach every project with care and intention: listening first, shaping the story together, and creating visuals that feel honest, human, and meaningful from start to finish.

01

Listening

We begin by listening to your ideas, understanding your needs and audience, and discovering what truly matters behind your project.

02

Scripting

We shape the narrative and creative direction together: story structure, tone, interview approach, locations and visual language. 

03

Filming

We film with a documentary eye, conducting interviews with sensitivity and capturing real moments, small details and human connection.

04

Delivering

We refine the film through editing, colour and sound, incorporating your feedback to deliver a finished film ready to share.

What we can deliver

Your finished film is at the heart of the project. Alongside it, we also offer photography, social media edits and supporting materials to help you share your story across your website, campaigns and social channels.

A finished film tailored to your message and audience.

Social media assets

Short edits and reels for your social platforms.

Guidance to help your film reach the right audience.

“This comes across as very genuine and sincere. Really amazing and emotional. You definitely capture the spirit of what we are trying to do here.”

What you might
want to know

Every project starts with a conversation. Here are answers to some of the questions clients ask when planning a film with us.

The budget depends on the film’s length, the number of filming days, the interviews involved and the complexity of the story. Tell us about your project, intended use and budget range so we can propose a suitable scope.

We’re a small, flexible team and can move quickly when needed. The schedule depends on filming availability, editing and feedback stages. Share your launch date when you enquire so we can plan around it and agree on a delivery timeline.

Yes. We have filmed in Portugal, France, the Netherlands, Thailand and Spain. Travel is planned as part of the project. If your story takes us abroad, get in touch and we’ll discuss availability, logistics and costs.

You don’t need a finished brief to start a conversation. Send us a short description of your organisation, what you want the film to achieve and who you want to reach. We’ll help you shape the idea and guide you through the next steps.

Yes. We can build a package combining your main film with photography, reels, teasers and shorter edits for social media. We plan these together from the start, making the most of the shoot and creating a consistent set of content for your website, launch or campaigns.
