OUR WORK

Q8 e-tron

In partnership with TEMPOMEDIA, Filmworks serviced an elegant film introducing the Audi Q8 e-tron. Even though it has no gas tank. No engine sounds. No gear shifts or even side mirrors. Working with Director Anthony Mandler and DOP Cezary Zacharewicz, this Audi is more than a car – it’s a premium electric experience. Constantly seeking electrifying inspiration in every facet of their daily experience.

Victory Swim

Kicking off with a swimming lesson between a mother and child the film speedily dives into action, galvanized by the incredible female athletes swimming, surfing and rowing together while sporting Nike's Victory Swim Collection of modest swimwear. While the campaign shows that modesty and power are not mutually exclusive, it also shows women - from that very first swim- that they are not alone.

Testimonials

You are in excellent hands when working with Jax and Filmworks. Simply world-class. I would always recommend without hesitation.

GREG HOBDEN, SENIOR PRODUCER

Filmworks leapt into our job with full speed and energy both when we were in Dubai and when the job was also shot remotely. They are meticulous with planning, and they strive to get you the best crew for your film. Jax is an excellent EP, fully present throughout the process, and knows her team extremely well. Our job was tough, demanding and the hours were long, but Filmworks put 100% into it, and always with a smile on their faces. They helped us deliver a creative film that we hope will empower women in the Middle East, and I thank them hugely for this.
