Why bespoke

Why every quote is custom

A quiet ecolodge and a flagship five-star resort don't need the same film, so they shouldn't pay for the same one. What moves your price is real: how many room types and locations we cover, whether the story needs a two-person crew or a full unit with a drone license, and the season you're shooting for. We work out the sweet spot between your budget and your goals before we quote a number — never from a fixed template.

See the return before you invest

Price is only half the decision.

The other half is what the film gives back. Our interactive ROI calculator projects the direct-booking lift, added revenue and break-even time from a cinematic video, using your own traffic and booking numbers.

FAQ

Pricing — common questions

How much does a resort or hotel video cost?
Cinematic productions start at $3,000 for a discovery package and reach $9,000–$14,000 for a full multi-platform launch. Ongoing content retainers start at $850/month.
Why don't you list fixed prices?
Because the work is bespoke. The starting figures above are honest floors; the final quote depends on scope, crew, locations and season. We agree all of it with you before any number is fixed.
Do the prices include travel?
No. Travel, lodging, transfers and drone permits are quoted separately and transparently, because they vary widely by destination.
Do you offer ongoing content, not just a one-off film?
Yes. The Content Retainer delivers a steady flow of short videos and edited photos each month from your footage — ideal for keeping social and OTA channels fresh between major shoots.
What's the difference between the packages?
Scale and depth: shooting days, number of formats, whether talent is on camera, and how much the content is versioned across platforms. Discovery is one film; Full Content Launch is a complete campaign.
