WHAT WE DO

AC Studios creates considered films rooted in craft, culture, and contemporary luxury.

We specialise in refined, story-led moving image that explores how things are made, who makes them, and why that process matters. Our work connects progressive brands to culture through authenticity, restraint, and a deep respect for detail.

WHY WE DO IT

To champion diverse voices and perspectives.
To spotlight underappreciated people, processes, and places.
To create films where craft and authenticity lead the narrative.

OUR STORY

Luxury today is less about spectacle and more about substance. Provenance, process, and integrity matter more than ever.

In a world moving at extraordinary speed, with technology and AI reshaping how work is made and consumed, AC Studios has made a deliberate choice to slow down.

We work with brands where the human touch is fundamental to their heritage and DNA. Where skill, patience, and lived knowledge are not marketing ideas, but the foundation of the work itself. For us, craft is not a trend. It’s a language, refined over time and passed between generations.

Throughout my career in advertising, and during my time leading film at MR PORTER, I became increasingly aware of what was missing from modern storytelling. Not just diversity in who appeared on screen, but in whose work was being recognised. The makers, craftspeople, and people behind the process were often absent from the narrative.

I founded AC Studios in 2018 to create space for a more considered way of working. Going independent allowed me to collaborate with designers, artisans, and cultural practitioners across disciplines, building teams around shared values rather than fixed formulas.

These collaborations continue to shape our point of view as a studio. Calm, intentional, and rooted in craft.
