The Culture Campaign™
You've spent years building the brand.
It's probably time people knew the story behind it.
Your products aren’t the whole story.
People can see what you sell. What they often can’t see is the founder, history, thinking and hard work behind it.
👉 Your feed shows the product, but not why you care about it.
👉 The people behind the brand are barely visible.
👉 Good stories keep getting pushed aside for the next post.
People will give a real story their attention.
A founder-led documentary Callan directed for Whitefox’s move into Dubai reached 2.4 million views.
It didn’t rely on a trend or a hard sell. People wanted to see what was happening behind the business.
That’s the approach behind The Culture Campaign: find one part of the brand worth knowing, then tell it properly.
Meet The Culture Campaign.
We make a short documentary about one part of your brand.
You don’t need to know what the film should be about. We find the strongest story with you, shape one clear direction, then plan, shoot and edit the campaign from start to finish.
It’s made for lifestyle brands with real people and culture behind the product.
What’s included
• A recorded conversation to find the story
• A one-page treatment and production plan
• Up to one full production day
• One 2–4 minute documentary film
• One campaign trailer
• Five to seven short-form cutdowns
• A simple rollout plan
The filmmaker behind The Culture Campaign
I’m Callan Reynolds, founder of Vestige Studios. For the past seven years I’ve directed music videos, documentaries and films for brands including Whitefox, Red Bull, Nike and Jack Daniel’s.
That work taught me how to find rhythm, tension and personality in real people without forcing them into a script. I’m looking for the part of your brand people can genuinely connect with.
How It Works
1. Uncover — We talk through the brand, founder, product, hard parts and what’s happening now. You don’t need to prepare a story.
2. Shape — I find the strongest thread and turn it into one clear film treatment for you to review.
3. Create — We film the interview and the people, places, process and details that bring the story to life.
4. Release — You receive the main film, trailer, cutdowns and a simple plan for releasing them.
What you walk away with
• One film that shows what sits behind the brand
• A founder who sounds like a person, not a press release
• Shorter pieces that keep the story moving after launch
• Work that can live across your website, socials, email and launches
• Something your team can watch and say: “This actually feels like us.”
A good fit looks like this
This is for you if:
• You run a lifestyle brand with a real story behind it.
• You care about what you’re building and are willing to speak honestly about it.
• Your current content shows the product, but not enough of the people or thinking behind it.
It’s probably not for you if:
• You want a scripted ad or quick product promo.
• You need guaranteed views, sales or engagement.
• You aren’t open to letting the real story guide the film.
FAQs
What exactly do I get?
1
One 2–4 minute documentary, one trailer, five to seven short-form cutdowns and a rollout plan. The story conversation, treatment, planning and up to one full production day are included.
Do I need to know what the film should be about?
2
No. Finding the story is part of the job. We start with a recorded conversation, then I choose the strongest thread and shape it into one direction for you to review.
How long does it take?
3
The first cut is usually ready within one to two weeks of the shoot. The full timeline depends on scheduling, locations and how quickly feedback comes back.
How does feedback work?
4
There are two consolidated feedback rounds across the project. Once the main film and trailer are approved, I make the shorter cutdowns from that finished direction.
