Crafting the Brand Film for SAIL Amsterdam 2025
We created and produced the brand film for SAIL Amsterdam 2025, the world’s largest nautical event, returning next year to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
Director Tom Sibma: “I saw a great challenge in conveying the nautical feeling without showing ships on screen. That would have been too obvious. Instead, I saw an exciting opportunity to make it whole and human, with a clear connection to the past and a fresh outlook on the future.” The goal was to create a film that appeals to both those familiar with SAIL from past editions and the younger generation who missed the event due to its cancellation five years ago.

The Story Behind ‘We Know Our Place in the World'
Harnessing creativity often means venturing into uncharted waters, and that’s precisely what Cyril Cherim, Rens de Groot, and Christiaan van Leeuwen did for their film ‘We know our place in the world’ for Air-France KLM. The bold choice: filming entirely in a stark, gritty black and white.
This creative decision has landed their film in the running for a Dutch Creativity Award for Cinematography, showcased on our portfolio. We caught up with Cyril (copywriter), Rens (art director), and Christiaan (director of photography) to dive into their creative process.
